The weekend hours that can be purchase now that the weekday hours have increased is 16 hours.

<h3>How to calculate the number of hours?</h3>

From the information, the initial cost is given as $2 per hour. When the cost is tripled,the new cost will be:

= $2 × 3

= $6

The total cost of weekday parking hours will be:

6(26 - x) + (10 × x) = 220

156 - 6x + 10x = 220

Collect like terms

4x = 220 - 156

4x = 64

x = 64/4

x = 16 hours.
