You can put this solution on YOUR website!
One could involve your cell phone bill:
Where the monthly fee was $30 with the 1st 60 min free, then .25 per min.
m = no. of minutes
Cost = .25(m - 60) + 30
:
How about a parking lot garage: where the 1st hr = $5 and $3 every hour after that
where t = no. of hours you parked
Cost = 3(t-1) + 5
