Question

Parking charges at Superior Parking Garage are $5.00 for the first hour and $1.50 for each additional 30 minutes. If Margo has $12.50, what is the maximum amount of time she will be able to park her car at the garage?

Answer 1

So what you want to do is subtract $5 to 12.50 for the first hour so then you will have 7.50
After that you want to divides 7.50/1.50 so you can see how many hours you have left.
7.50/1.50=5
Then you want to multiple 5*30 to get your time and that is 2hrs and 30 min
Then add the hour for the first hour that you had and it would be 3hrs and 30 min

Answer 2

The maximum amount of time Margo can park the car at the garage is  1 hour and 15 minutes.

She can buy two 30-minute periods for $5 each, plus an additional 15 minutes for $2.50, for a total of $5.00 every 30 minutes.

$\text{Parking Sessions} = \dfrac{\text{Amount Margo held}}{\text{Charges for 1st one hour}}\\\text{Parking Sessions} = \dfrac{\ 12.50}{\ 5}\\\text{Parking Sessions} = \ 2.5$

She has $12.50 that can be divided in proportion as the two sessions of 30 minutes and the last 15 minutes session.
