Answer 1

To find out how much each additional hour of parking costs, we need to subtract the base rate for the first 2 hours from the total cost of parking.

The base rate for the first 2 hours is $3.

So, the cost of parking for the additional 4 hours is $31 - $3 = $<<31-3=28>>28.

To find out how much each additional hour costs, we divide the cost of parking for the additional 4 hours by the number of additional hours, which is 4.

So, each additional hour of parking costs $28 ÷ 4 = $<<28/4=7>>7.

Therefore, each additional hour of parking costs $7. Answer: \boxed{7.00}.
