Question 972706: 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 $10? Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The 1st 1/2 hr costs $1
There is $9 left
In terms of units:
[ dollars ] / ( dollars/hr ] = [ hrs ] hrs
Note that dollars
The student only has $.25 left after
7 hrs, so student cannot buy any
more time
------------------
So, the student can park for a maximum of
7.5 hrs
