Question

Parking your car near where you work costs 50¢ per hour or $4 per day. If you park for 7 hours per day, what is the LEAST that you will pay for 5 days worth of parking? ​ $3.50 $4.00 $17.50 $20.00 $35.00

Answer 1

In this question, we're calculating how much you're going to need to pay in parking.

We know that it costs 50¢ per hour

We also know that you park for 7 hours.

Note: They're trying to trick you here with the $4 per day, you wouldn't use this information because you're not parking for the whole day.

Calculate how much you're paying per day by multiplying 7 by 0.50

7 × 0.50 = 3.5

Now, multiply how much you pay everyday (3.5) by the amount of days your'e working (5)

3.5 × 5 = 17.50

This means that you will be paying $17.50 for 5 days of parking

Answer:

$17.50
