A parking garage charges $2 for the first hour and $1 for each additional
hour. Fran has $7.50 to spend for parking. What is the greatest number of
hours Fran can park?

Respuesta :

Fran can park for 6 hours! he has $7.50. if the first hour is $2 7.50-2=5.50. each hour is another $1. 5.50-1=4.50 4.50-1=3.50 3.50-1=2.50 2.50-1=1.50 1.50-1=.50. he is left with .50

Answer:

Thus, Fran parked for 6.5 hours and payed 7.5 dollars.

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the number of greatest hour did Fran used for parking in where:

=> parking charge $2 for the first hour

=> and $1 for the additional hours.

=> Fran spent $7.5 in all.

To get the answer let’s have the solution this way.

=> 7.5 dollars – 2 dollars = we need to subtract the first hour which is 2 dollars.

=> 5.5 dollars left.

=> 5.5 dollars / 1 dollar per hour

=> 5.5 hour + 1 hour

=> 6.5 hours

Thus, Fran parked for 6.5 hours and payed 7.5 dollars.
