Question

Audrey is driving to a concert and needs to pay for parking. There is an automatic fee of $12 just to enter the parking lot, and when she leaves the lot, she will have to pay an additional $4 for every hour she had her car in the lot. How much total money would Audrey have to pay for parking if she left her car in the lot for 6 hours? How much would Audrey have to pay if she left her car in the lot for t hours?

Answer 1

Given:

Automatic fee = $12

Additional fee for parking = $4

• Let's find the total money he would have to pay for parking is she left her car in the lot for 6 hours.

We have the equation:

y = 12 + 4x

Where:

y represents the total money

x represents the number of hours

Substitute 6 for x:

y = 12 + 4(6)

y = 12 + 24

y = 36

The total amount Audrey would pay if she left her car in the lot for 6 hours is $36

• How much would Audrey have to pay if she left her car in the lot for t hours

We have the equation:

y = 12 + 4t

ANSWER:

$36
