Question

The base parking charge at a mall on a Sunday is $2 per hour. Given that a vehicle is parked for 4 hours, only $6 is charged. What percentage is saved on the base charge for a vehicle parked for 4 hours?

Answer 1

The percentage that is saved upon parking for 4 hours is 25%.

Parking for 4 hours should warrant $8, but the new deal deducts $2 from the original rate. $2 ÷ $8 = 0.25 or 25%.
