Question

A parking meter at a parking garage charges $4 per hour. Every fraction of an hour is rounded up to the next hour. What is the cost for parking a car in the parking garage for 312 hours

Answer 1

$1,248.00, or 1,248 dollars.

Explanation:

First, multiply 4, which is the dollars per hour, by 2, which is 8. Then, multiply four with ten, which is 40. Next, multiply 4 with 3, which is 12, and add two zeros on the back, which is 1,200. Finally, add them all together for a total of $1,248.00, or 1,248 dollars.
