The parking rates @ the hospital's parking garage are 50 cents for the first hour and 25 cents for each additional hour. If juan parks in the garage for 8 hours, how much will the total charge for parking be?
[tex]n-number\ of\ hours\\\\\text{The equation of the function:}\\\\f(n)=0.25(n-1)+0.50\\\\\text{for n = 8:}\\\\f(8)=0.25(8-1)+0.50=0.25(7)+0.50=1.75+0.50=2.25[/tex]
