To set up the equation, we need to determine how much Jillian paid for the first 2 hours and how much she paid for the additional 4 hours.
For the first 2 hours, she paid a flat rate of $3.
For the additional 4 hours, she paid a variable rate. Let's call the cost of each additional hour x.
Therefore, the equation can be set up as:
3 + (4 * x) = 31
In this equation, 3 represents the cost for the first 2 hours, and 4 is the number of additional hours. We multiply 4 by x because we want to find the cost of 4 hours (each additional hour costs x). The total cost should be equal to $31.
Jillian spent $31 to park for 6 hours. The parking garage charges a base rate of $3 for the first two 2 hours, and then an hourly rate for each additional hour. How much does each additional hour of parking cost?(1 point) Responses $8.50 $8.50 $5.17 $5.17 $4.67 $4.67 $7.00
Explain how to set up the equation.
