Question

A parking garage charges $3.00 plus $1.50 for each hour. You have

$12.00 to spend for parking. Write and solve an equation to find the
number of hours that you can park.

Answer 1

(12 - 3) ÷ 1.5 = 6

Answer 2

(12-3)/1.5= 6

You subtract $3 from $12 for the first fee and then divide $9 by $1.50 to find how many hours you can stay.
