A parking garage charges ​$1.25 for the first hour and ​$0.50 for each additional hour. If a customer gave the parking attendant ​$15 for parking from 10 A.M. to 3 P.M.​, how much did the garage​ charge?

Respuesta :

Answer:The garage charged $3.25 for the parking.

Step-by-step explanation: 10am-3pm is equivalent to 5 hours. For hour number one the cost was $1.25. If you take the continuing 4 hours after the original $1.25, it is .50 for each one. Meaning it is $2.00 for the 4 hours after the original $1.25. So 1.25+2.00= 3.25.
