A parking garage allows users to park the first hour free and then charges $2.50 for each additional hour or fraction of an hour. Which equation represents this situation?.

Respuesta :

The first hour is free, and the rest charges is $2.50


Let x be the time.

Let y be the total


Your equation will look like


When x < 2, y = 0

When x > 1, y = $2.50(x)


So:


1 < x < ∞ for hours, then equation will look like:

y = total amount

$2.50 is cost (remember that the first hour is for free, and so you subtract $2.50 from the total.


$2.50x - $2.50 = y should be your equation.


hope this helps

1hr+$2.50h.


I believe this is the right answer
