Respuesta :

Answer:

$14.50

Explanation:

Given;

Charge for first 2 hours = $5.00 and

$0.75 for each additional half hour or part thereof.

If he parks his car for 8 hours, then the first 2 hours will be charged at a rate of $5.00

Time left to charge is 6 hours. This will be charged at a rate of $0.75

Therefore cost to Sam for parking his car for 8 hours

= (2 × $5) + (6 × $0.75)

= $10 + $4.50

= $14.50

Sam paid $14.50 for parking.
