Answer:

The answer is $23.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to determine the strategy, we have to understand when the cost increases. We can see the problem with two costs:

  1. Base cost
  2. Variable cost

The base cost is the interval of the first three hours. If you park 1, 1.5 or 2.2 hours, you will pay $3 for each hour.

The variable cost is the interval after the first three hours. If you park 4.5 hours, you will pay the base cost more two hours (1.5 extra hours rounded to 2 hours).

So the strategy is to separate the first three hours and the remained. The remained has to be rounded to the next whole number.

The cost is:

C=3*h+7*e

C: total cost of the parking garage

h: first three hours

e: extra hours (after the first three hours)

In this case:

h=3

e=2

C=3*3+7*2

C=9+14

C=23

Finally the total cost is $23.

Answer: 59$

Step-by-Step Explanation:

Let the discounted rate be ‘x’
No. of visits = 4
Total Amount for the visits = 4 * x = 4x
Additional cost = 25$
Total Amount = 261$

Therefore,
= 4x + 25 = 261
= 4x = 261 - 25 = 236
=> x = 236/4 = 59

Therefore, x = 59
Hence, discounted rate = 59$

A standard showerhead in Nathan's house dispenses 11 gallons of water per minute. Nathan changed this showerhead to an energy-sa
Fynjy0 [20]
The new shower head dispenses 3 gallons of water per minute, as shown in the equation y = 3x.

So, 3 x 8 = 24.

Then, to find out how much he saves each day, you would find how much he used before,

11 x 8 = 88

Next we want to see how much Nathan saved, so we subtract the total,

88 - 24 = 64

Nathan saved 64 gallons.
