Question

PLEASE HELP!! The cost for parking in the local covered parking lot is calculated by ƒ(h) = 4.5 + 1.5⌈(h - 1)⌉ where h is the number of hours you parked. What is the cost for parking in the garage for 75 minutes?

Answer 1

The cost of parking in the garage for 75 minutes is 4.875.

Explanation:

The costs of parking h hours is given by the following function:

`f(h) = 4.5 + 1.5(h-1)`

Cost of parking 75 minutes.

1 hour is 60 minutes. How many hours are 75 minutes?

1h - 60 min

xh - 75 min

`60x = 75`

`x = (75)/(60)`

`x = 1.25`

75 minutes is 1.25 hours. So we have to find f(1.25).

`f(1.25) = 4.5 + 1.5*(1.25-1) = 4.875`

The cost of parking in the garage for 75 minutes is 4.875.
