Question

Parking in a student lot costs $1 for the first half hour, and 1.75 for each hour thereafter. A partial hour is chargd the same as a full hour. What is the longest time that a student can park in the lot for $7.00

Answer 1

Three and a Half Hours

Answer 2

three hours because the student doesn't have enough money for the fourth hour.

Answer 3

$1 for the first 30 minutes, and then $1.75*3=$5.25 for the next three hours. So, he can use $5.25+$1= $6.25 for three and a half hours.
