An easier way to think of this problem is just keep adding for each additional hour:
0.5 hours --> $2
1.5 hrs --> $3.75
2.5 hrs --> $5.50
3.5 hrs --> $7.25
and since you can only spend $7, the maximum time is 2.5 hours

You have a 1:2 chance of guessing the right answer, if you have to guess between the two.
$12.80 × 1.075 = $13.76
$13.76 × 1.15 =$15.82
