A parking garage charges $2 for the first hour and $1 for each additional hour. Fran has $7.50 to spend for parking. what is the greatest number of hours Fran can park?

Find the number of greatest hour did Fran used for parking in where:

=> parking charge $2 for the first hour

=> and $1 for the additional hours.

=> Fran spent $7.5 in all.

To get the answer let’s have the solution this way.

=> 7.5 dollars - 2 dollars = we need to subtract the first hour which is 2 dollars.

=> 5.5 dollars left.

=> 5.5 dollars / 1 dollar per hour

=> 5.5 hour + 1 hour

=> 6.5 hours

Thus, Fran parked for 6.5 hours and payed 7.5 dollars.
