Answer: 2.5 hours or 2 hr and 30 min

Explanation:

We can set up an equation to find how many hours you can park.

2.5+4x=12.5

The 2.5 comes from the base fee. The 4x is the hourly rate, where x is hours. The 12.5 is the total amount of money you have.

Since we have our equation, we can solve for x.

4x=10

x=2.5

You can park for 2.5 hours, or 2 hours and 30 min.
