Ronald and Tyler met for dinner in downtown Newport. Ronald did flat-rate valet parking for $12. Tyler went to another valet and paid $4 up front and $4 for every hour, including the first hour. Ultimately, the friends ended up paying the same amount. How long did they stay? How much did each one pay?

Both the friends stayed for 2 hours. Each one paid $12.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Amount paid by Ronald = $12

Amount paid by Tyler upfront = $4

Amount per hour = $4

Let,

x be the number of hours.

R(x) = 12

T(x) = 4x+4

As both the friends paid same;

T(x) = R(x)

[tex]4x+4=12\\4x=12-4\\4x=8[/tex]

Dividing both sides by 4

[tex]\frac{4x}{4}=\frac{8}{4}\\x=2[/tex]

Putting x=2 in T(x)

T(2) = 4(2) + 4 = 8+4 = 12

Both the friends stayed for 2 hours. Each one paid $12.
