Weekday hours tripled but your budget of $220 for 26 parking hours remain the same. How many weekend hours
can you purchase now that the weekday hours have
increased?

8 weekend hours can now be purchased.

Note: The prior information required is:

You purchase 26 "parking hours" that you can use over the next month to park your food truck at the fair. Weekday hours cost $2/hour and weekend hours cost $10/hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial cost of weekday hours = $2/ hour

Since the cost of the weekday hours is tripled, new cost = $2/ hour × 3 = $6/ hour

Total week hours purchased = 26 hours

Let the number of weekend hours be x; number of weekday hours will be 26 - x

Since the budget remains the same, therefore, the total cost of weekday parking hours and weekend parking hours will be equal to $220as expressed below;

(26 - x) × $6 + $10 × x = $220

$10x - $6x + $156 = $220

$4x = $(220 -156)

x = 64/4

x = 8 hours

Therefore, 8 weekend hours can now be purchased

3 1/3 x 2 3/5 = 8 2/3

step-by-step explanation:

just multiply the first number by the second number to get your answer.
