A good question

Suppose we have to pay up the parking bill at a mall

ON THE BILL BOARD IT SAYS
|____________|

|

  FOR A 4  HOUR PARKING   YOU HAVE  TO PAY $3.24

|

  AND UNDER IT A LED SAYS YOU HAVE BEEN HERE FOR (5HRS)

|
|
|
|_________

now what would you do

let me make a table

let x be the cost

|

hours parked __ cost

4                                       |                      $3.24

5 | $x$

$(3.24* 5)/4 = x$

solving for $x$ you will get $4.05$
