Marlene Kemp · Answer 1

4 hours parking at $2/hr = 4 x 2 = $8

4 hours special charge = $6

Discount = $8 - $6 = $2

Percentage discount = 2/8 x 100 = 25%

Answer: 25% (Option C)

Erik Mitchell · Answer 2

2 dollars = 1 hour

8 dollars = 4 hours

she paid 6 dollars so the amount saved = 8-6 = 2 dollars

percentage saved = * 100

percentage saved = 25%
