1 answer

To find out how much each additional hour of parking costs, we need to subtract the cost of the first 2 hours from the total cost.
The cost for the first 2 hours is $3 per hour, so it is 2 * $3 = $<<2*3=6>>6.
Therefore, the cost for the additional 4 hours is $31 - $6 = $<<31-6=25>>25.
Each additional hour costs $25 / 4 = $<<25/4=6.25>>6.25.
So, the answer is $6.25.
