Question

An airport parking lot charges $5.00 for the first two hours of parking and $0.75 for each additional half hour or part thereof. Of Sam parks his car for 8 hours, how much does he pay for parking

Answer 1

$14.50

Step-by-step explanation:

At the airport, first 2 hours are charge for $5.00 and $0.75 for each additional half hour or part thereof.

If Sam parks for 8 hours, it means the first 2 hours are charge for $5.00

Remaining 6 hours will be charged at a rate of $0.75

Hence the total amount paid by Sam for parking his car for 8 hours

= (2 × $5) + (6 × $0.75)

= $10 + $4.50

= $14.50

Answer 2

$14

Step-by-step explanation:

Sam parks his car for 8 hours, the first two hours cost $5 and he would pay $0.75 for every half hour after the first two hours . That means he would pay $1.50 for every hour after the first two hours.

He spent 6 hours extra. The total amount that would be paid = $1.50 × 6 = $9

He would pay a total of $9 for the 6 hours extra he parked his car.

The cost of parking for the 8 hours is = $9 + $5 = $14
