Answer by Boreal(15235) About Me  (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
1.25+0.75x<=3.75
where x is the number of hours parked-1.
0.75x<=2.50
x<=3 for an integer number of hours.
Because x=number-1, that is 4 hours of parking
1.25 for the first hour
2.25 for the next three hours
