Question

A hospital parking garage charges 4.25 for the first hour and 1.50 for each quarter hour up to maximum 20. How much would a car owner pay to park for 2 hours and three fourths

Answer 1

Explanation:

To park for 2 hours and three fourths, the car owner would be charged for a total of 3 hours, since the garage charges in quarter-hour intervals. The first hour costs $4.25, and the next two hours cost $1.50 x 8 quarters, which is $12. In total, the car owner would pay $16.25 to park for 2 hours and three fourths.
