Question 1002269: Parking in a student lot cost $2 for the first half hour and $1.25 for each hour thereafter. A partial hour is charged the same as a full hour. What is the longest time a student can park for $9?

We can write this as an inequality...call t the number of hours...realizing that the first half-hour is covered by the $2...
2 + 1.25t < 9
1.25t < 7
t < 4.8
So the student can park for 4 1/2 hours.
