Work Step by Step

1 dollar for the first half-hour and .60 dollars for each additional half hour Let $x$ be the number of half hours after the first half hour $1*(1)+.6*(x-1)$ $1+.6x-.6$ $.4+.6x$ $.4+.6x \leq4$ $.4+.6x-.4 \leq4-.4$ $.6x \leq 3.6$ $.6x/.6 \leq 3.6/.6$ $x \leq 6$ We need to add the original half hour, so $x \leq 7$
