A mall charges 25pesos for the first hour or a fraction of an hour as parking fee. An additional 25pesos is charged for every additional hour, or a fraction of an hour of parking. The parking area operates from 7A.M. to 12 midnight every day. a. Write a . math
y = 25 + 25⌈x-1⌉ for x > 1
Now maybe you could finish the question you were trying to ask.
To calculate the parking fee, we first need to determine the total number of hours the car is parked.
Let's say the car enters the parking lot at time X and exits at time Y.
The parking area operates from 7A.M. to 12 midnight, which is a total of 17 hours (from 7AM to 12 midnight, there are 17 hours).
To find the total parking duration, we can subtract the entry time X from the exit time Y and then round up to the nearest whole hour:
Total Parking Duration = Round up(Y - X)
Now that we have the total parking duration, we can calculate the parking fee.
For the first hour or fraction of an hour, the fee is 25 pesos.
For every additional hour or fraction of an hour, an additional 25 pesos is charged.
So, the parking fee can be calculated as follows:
If the total parking duration is greater than or equal to 1 hour:
Parking Fee = 25 pesos + (total parking duration - 1) * 25 pesos
If the total parking duration is less than 1 hour:
Parking Fee = 25 pesos
Example:
Let's say the car enters the parking lot at 8:30 AM (X = 8.5) and exits at 10:45 AM (Y = 10.75).
Total Parking Duration = Round up(10.75 - 8.5)
= Round up(2.25)
= 3 hours
Since the total parking duration is equal to 3 hours, the parking fee would be:
Parking Fee = 25 pesos + (3 - 1) * 25 pesos
= 25 pesos + 2 * 25 pesos
= 50 pesos.
Therefore, the parking fee for parking from 8:30 AM to 10:45 AM would be 50 pesos.
