Question

Parking in a student lot costs $2 for the first half hour and $1.75 for each hour thereafter. A partial hour is charged the same as a full hour. What is the longest time that a student can park in this lot for $8?

Answer 1

since a partial hour is charged the same as a full, it would be 3 hours, but we also have to add the first half hour for $2. so, the longest you can park in the lost is 3 and half hours
