A hospital parking lot charges $2.50 for the first hour or part thereof, and $1.25 for each additional hour or part thereof. A weekley pass costs $36 and allows unlimited parking for 7 days. If each visit Charles makes to the hospital lasts one and a half hours, what is the minimum number of visits that would make it worthwhile to buy a pass?
