Question 662654: Parking in a student lot costs $1 for the first half hour and $1.25 for each hour. A partial hour is charged the same as a full hour. What is the longest time that a student can park for $9? Answer by ReadingBoosters(3246) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 1 for .5hr
then 1.25 for additional
9 > 1(.5) + 1.25x
9 - .5 > 1.25x
8.5 > 1.25x
6.8 > x
6 hours of parking for $9
Proof
partial hour + full hour + 5 full hours
1 + 1.25 + 1.25(5) = $8.50
