To find out how much each additional hour of parking costs, we need to subtract the base rate for the first 2 hours from the total cost of parking.
The base rate for the first 2 hours is $3.
So, the cost of parking for the additional 4 hours is $31 - $3 = $<<31-3=28>>28.
To find out how much each additional hour costs, we divide the cost of parking for the additional 4 hours by the number of additional hours, which is 4.
So, each additional hour of parking costs $28 รท 4 = $<<28/4=7>>7.
Therefore, each additional hour of parking costs $7. Answer: \boxed{7.00}.
To find out how much each additional hour of parking costs, we need to calculate the total cost of parking for the first two hours and subtract it from the total cost for 6 hours.
The base rate for the first two hours is $3. So, the total cost for the first two hours is 2 x $3 = $6.
Subtracting the cost for the first two hours from the total cost for 6 hours gives us $31 - $6 = $25.
Since each additional hour costs the same, we divide the remaining cost by the number of additional hours, which is 6 - 2 = 4 hours.
Therefore, each additional hour of parking costs $25 / 4 = $6.25.
Since none of the answer choices match this result, none of them are correct.
To find out how much each additional hour of parking costs, we need to determine the cost of the first two hours of parking and subtract it from the total cost for 6 hours.
The base rate for the first two hours is $3. So the cost for the first 2 hours is $3.
We subtract this amount from the total cost for 6 hours:
$31 - $3 = $28.
Now, we need to divide this remaining cost by the number of additional hours beyond the first two. In this case, there are 6 - 2 = 4 additional hours.
So, to find the cost of each additional hour, we divide $28 by 4:
$28 / 4 = $7.
Therefore, the cost of each additional hour of parking is $7.
The answer is 7.00.
