The airport parking lot charges different rates for different lengths of time. One hour in short term parking is $5.00 additional hours are $3.00; any car parked longer than 24 hours is charged $10.00 an hour for any amount of time exceeding 1 day. How much would a person be charged for parking in short term parking for 32 hours?
----------------------------
1st hour: $5
Next 23 hours: 23*3 = $69
Next 8 hours: 10*8 = $80
----------------------------
Total cost: 5+69+80 = $154
