Given:

Base fee = $2.50

Hourly rate = $4.00

Total money = $12.50

Determine how many hours can you park.

Solution:

In order to determine how many hours can the car be parked, we must first subtract the base from the total money, then divide the difference by the hourly rate.

= $12.50 - $2.50

= $10.50

= $10.50 / 4.00

= 2.6 hours or 2 hours and 36 minutes

Final answer:

2.6 hours or 2 hours and 36 minutes
