Question

It costs $2.00 per hour to park in the parking deck. Ben parks for 3 hours. The automated machine used for payment will only accept quarters. How many quarters does Ben need to exit the deck?

Answer 1

24

Explanation:

Answer 2

24 quarters

Explanation:

step 1

Find out the total cost

Multiply the total hours by the unit rate of $2.00 per hour

so

`3(2)=\$6.00`

step 2

To find out how many quarters Ben needs, divide the total cost by $0.25 (value of one quarter coin)

so

`(6.00)/(0.25)=24`
