\nThe correct answer in New Math<\/b> is $5.00<\/b><\/font>.<\/p>\n
\nPark your car in the parking lot at 7:48 pm. You leave the parking lot, after going shopping at the Grocery Store, at 10:15 pm. The parking rates are $2.50 per half hour. There is a Flat Rate of $5.00 for parking from 6:00 pm to 5:00 am. IF you spend more than $10 at the Grocery Store, you get the First Hour of Parking for FREE. One Hour of Parking is $5.00. BUT IF you go shopping, you don’t pay the Flat Rate, you pay the Hourly Rate… so you get One Hour FREE off your Hourly Rate, but because there’s a Flat Rate, you only have to pay… $5.00.<\/font><\/p>\n
