The Main Street garage charges $2.50 per hour

Question

The Main Street garage charges $2.50 and hour of parking and $1.00 for each additional hour. Denise Tomey parks her car in the garage from 9 am to 5 pm, 5 days a week. How much money does she save by paying a weekly parking rate of $35.00

Answer 1

9 to 5 is 8 hours.

 

   $2.50 the first hour, $1 x 7 thereafter.

   So $9.50 per day.

 

   $9.50 x 5 = $47.50

 

She saves $47.50 - 35 = $12.50
