Question

The owner of a city parking garage charges an hourly rate for parking. He charges one customer $16.25 for 2.5 hours. At this rate, how many hours did a customer who was charged $42.25 park in the garage?

Answer 1

Answer:6.5hr

Step-by-step explanation:  $16.25 => 2.5hr

                                              $42.25 => y hr

let y be number of hours,

now,equating their ratios,=> 16.25/42.25 = 2.5/y

=> y=2.5x42.5/16.25

=> y=6.5 hr
