A parking garage charges $2 for the first hour and $1 for each additional hour. Fran has $7.50 to spend for parking. What is the greatest number of hours Fran can park?

Find the number of greatest hour did Fran used for parking in where:
=> parking charge $2 for the first hour
=> and $1 for the additional hours.
=> Fran spent $7.5 in all.
To get the answer let’s have the solution this way.
=> 7.5 dollars – 2 dollars = we need to subtract the first hour which is 2 dollars.
=> 5.5 dollars left.
=> 5.5 dollars / 1 dollar per hour
=> 5.5 hour + 1 hour
=> 6.5 hours
Thus, Fran parked for 6.5 hours and payed 7.5 dollars.

2 + H = 7.50 ( H is the # of hours after the 1st hour)
2 + H = 7.50
(-2 from both sides)
——————-
H = 5.50
5.50 plus the first hour equals 6.5 hours
He can park there for 6 and a half hours

Fran can park for a total of 6 hours with $7.50 after paying for the first hour. After spending $2 for the first hour, she has $5.50 left, which allows for 5 additional hours. In total, she can park for 6 hours.
