Jean put a total of 35 cents in the meter (5 cents for the nickel, 10 cents for the dime, and 20 cents for the 2/4). Since every five cents buys 15 minutes of parking time, 35 cents would buy 105 minutes of parking time (7 sets of 15 minutes).
Adding 105 minutes (1 hour and 45 minutes) to the original 20 minutes, we get a total of 2 hours and 5 minutes of parking time.
8:15 AM + 2 hours and 5 minutes = 10:20 AM
Therefore, the meter will expire at 10:20 AM.
At 8:15 AM Jean found a parking meter that still had 20 minutes until expired. She quickly put a nickel a dime and 2/4 in the meter and went shopping if every five cents buys 15 minutes of parking time at what time will the meter expire
