Question

A parking garage charges a $2.50 daily fee plus an hourly rate of $4.00. If you have $12.50 to pay for parking, how long can you park?

Answer 1

Explanation:

First we need to set up an equation so

12.50=4x+2.50

Simplify each side by subtracting the initial fee of 2.50

10=4x

divide by 4 to isolate x

2.5=x

You can park for 2.5 hours with your budget
