To find out how much each additional hour of parking costs, we need to first calculate the cost of the first 2 hours.
Jillian paid $31 for 6 hours of parking.
The base rate for the first 2 hours is $3.
Therefore, the cost of the first 2 hours is $3.
Now, we subtract the cost of the first 2 hours from the total cost to find out how much was paid for the additional hours.
$31 - $3 = $28
The additional $28 was paid for 6-2 = 4 hours.
So, each additional hour of parking costs $28 / 4 = $7.00.
Therefore, the correct answer is $7.00.
To find the cost per additional hour of parking, we need to subtract the cost of the first 2 hours from the total cost and then divide by the number of additional hours.
Jillian spent $31 for 6 hours of parking.
The base rate for the first 2 hours is $3.
To find the cost of the additional 4 hours, we subtract the cost of the first 2 hours:
$31 - $3 = $28
To find the cost per additional hour:
$28 / 4 = $7.00
Therefore, each additional hour of parking costs $7.00.
To find out how much each additional hour of parking costs, we need to subtract the base rate from the total amount Jillian spent and then divide it by the number of additional hours she parked.
Let's calculate it step by step:
1. Subtract the base rate from the total amount Jillian spent:
$31 - $3 = $28
2. Determine the number of additional hours Jillian parked. Subtract the initial 2 hours covered by the base rate from the total parking time:
6 hours - 2 hours = 4 additional hours
3. Divide the remaining amount by the number of additional hours:
$28 / 4 hours = $7
So, each additional hour of parking costs $7.
