Given: Jeriel is driving to a concert and needs to pay for parking. There is an automatic fee of $8 just to enter the parking lot, and when he leaves the lot, he will have to pay an additional $3 for every hour he had his car in the lot.
To find:
- The total money Jeriel would have to pay for parking if he left his car in the lot for 4 hours.
- The total money Jeriel would have to pay for parking if he left his car in the lot for t hours.
Solution:
- Jeriel has to pay an amount of $8 when he enters and $3 for every hour. So the $3 for 4 hours would be equal to, $3 × 4 hours = $12. Hence, the total amount of money to be paid for 4 hours is $8 + $12 = $20.
- If Jeriel left his car in the lot for t hours, the money to be paid can be calculated as, 8 + 3t. 8 being the entry fee and 3 being the hourly fee.
Therefore,
- Jeriel would have to pay $20 for parking if he left his car in the lot for 4 hours.
- Jeriel would have to pay $(8+3t) for parking if he left his car in the lot for t hours.
