A hospital parking lot charges $3.00 for the first hour or part thereof, and 1.50 for each additional hour or part thereof. A weekly pass costs $42.00 and allows unlimited parking for 7 days. If each visit Johnny makes to the hospital lasts two and a half hours,what is the minimum number of visits that would make it worthwile to buy a pass?
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "If each visit is 2 and 1/2 hours:
\n" ); document.write( "$3 + (120/30)1.50
\n" ); document.write( "= 3 + 4*1.50
\n" ); document.write( "= 3 + 6
\n" ); document.write( "= $9
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "\"minimum visits\" = 42/9 = 4.67
\n" ); document.write( "Since, a \"partial\" visit doesn't make sense, round it up to 5.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Therefore:
\n" ); document.write( "5 visits would make it worthwile for Johnny to buy a weekly pass. \n" ); document.write( "
