Question

parking in a student lot costs $3.00 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 $10.00

Answer 1

Do you know how to start this problem?

Answer 2

multiplying 1.75 times 10 and then adding $3.00?

Answer 3

Well. You can start with $3.00 then add $1.75 til you get to $10.00

Answer 4

So like it'd be $3.00 + $1.75 for the second hour, then another $1.75 etc. til you get to $10.00

Answer 5

3.00+1.75 times 4

Answer 6

yes

Answer 7

Answer 8

Answer 9

Answer 10

im starting to understand but some times i get confused

Answer 11

It's 5, because it's 3.00 for the first hour then 1.75 the next hours, so 1.75 times 4 equals $7 plus $3 equals $10.
