Answer:
the correct answer is 24 quarters
Step-by-step explanation:
Since Ben parks for 3 hours and one hours costs $2
Therefore 3 hours = $2.00 × 3 hours = $6.00
Next, note that 1 quarter = 25 cents (same as One-quarter of a dollar)
∴ 1 quarter = 1/4 dollar
= 1 quarter = 0.25 dollars.
$0.25 = 1 quarter
∴ $6 = (1/0.25) × 6 = (6 ÷ 0.25) = 24 quarters
Answer: Bn would pay 24 quarters to exit the deck
Step-by-step explanation:
The cost of parking in the parking deck per hour is $2. This means that the cost of parking for x hours would be $2x.
Ben parks for 3 hours. The total amount that he would pay is
3 × 2 = $6
The automated machine used for payment will only accept quarters. A quarter is worth 25 cents. Converting 25 cents to dollars, it becomes
25/100 = $0.25
Therefore, the number of quarters that he would pay to exit the deck is
6/0.25 = 24 quarters
