Sofia Sharp · Answer 1

Assuming that the fee is purely based on duration, the equation would look like this:

c = a*p

where c = cost, a = rates per hour, p = hours of parking

Alexandra pays 7$ for 3 hours parking. So, a would be:

c = a*p

7$ = a * 3 hr

a = 7$/3hr

Then the final equation would be:

c = (7/3) * p
