Q4. Kate pays $6 for parking his car in a shopping center for 2.5 hours.

Calculate:

(a) The parking charges per minute.

(b) The amount that he will have to pay if he parks his car in the shopping

center for 13

4

hours.

a. He pays 2.40 $ per minute

b. 31.20$ or 9.60$

Step-by-step explanation:

a. 2.5 hours = 2.5 x 60 = 150 minutes

Charges to park for 150 minutes = $6

Parking Charges per minute = 6 divided by 150 = 25

60 divided by 25 = 2.40

b. 13 hours x 2.40$ = 31.20$

4 hours x 2.40$ = 9.60$

(Wasn't sure if it was 13 or 4 hours so I just did both)

a) $0.04

b) $4.2

Step-by-step explanation:

2.5 hours = 2.5 * 60

= 150 minutes

Rate per minute:

6/150 = $0.04 per minute

1¾ hours = 1.75 * 60

= 105 minutes

105 * 0.04 = $4.2
