Parking garage charges $1 for the first half-hour and $0.60 for 2. A each additional half-hour or portion thereof. If you have only $6.00 in cash, how long can you park?

First, we can subtract $1.00 from the$6,00 to cover the first half hour of parking.

$6.00 -$1.00 = $5.00#

We can divide $5.00 by$0.60 to find how many additional half hours you can park.

You can park the original half hour covered by the $1.00 and an additional 8.333... half hours with the remaining$5.00

You must round down to the closest integer, which is eight half hours, because this charge is incrementalist in half hours.

Thus, you are permitted to park for a total of nine and a half hours, or four and a half hours.

To calculate how long you can park with $6.00 in cash at the parking garage, we first need to determine how much time the$6.00 can cover based on the parking rates.

The first half-hour costs $1.00, and each additional half-hour or portion thereof costs$0.60.

Let's denote: x = number of additional half-hours after the first half-hour.

The total cost of parking can be represented as: Total cost = $1.00 (for the first half-hour) +$0.60 * x (for the additional half-hours)

Given that you have $6.00 in cash, we can set up the equation:$6.00 = $1.00 +$0.60 * x

Now, let's solve for x: $6.00 -$1.00 = $0.60 * x$5.00 = $0.60 * x x =$5.00 / $0.60 x ≈ 8.33

Since x represents the number of additional half-hours or portion thereof, we round up to the nearest whole number because the parking garage charges for any portion of a half-hour. Therefore, you can park for approximately 9 half-hours (including the first half-hour).

To convert this into hours: 9 half-hours * 0.5 hours per half-hour = 4.5 hours

So, you can park for approximately 4.5 hours with $6.00 in cash.
