A parking meter allows 90 minutes of paid parking. A vehicle arrives at 10:45 AM and the meter expires at 12:15 PM. How many minutes of parking time were purchased?
Answer: 90 minutes
From 10:45 AM to 12:15 PM is exactly 90 minutes, which matches the meter allowance.
An officer issues 14 parking citations on Monday, 9 on Tuesday, and 17 on Wednesday. What is the average number of citations issued per day?
Answer: 13
Total citations: 14 + 9 + 17 = 40; average = 40 ÷ 3 ≈ 13.3, which rounds to 13.
A school zone speed limit is 20 mph. A vehicle is clocked traveling at 34 mph. By what percentage is the driver exceeding the speed limit?
Answer: 70%
Excess speed = 34 − 20 = 14 mph; percentage over limit = (14 ÷ 20) × 100 = 70%.
A parking lot has 120 spaces. If 75% are currently occupied, how many spaces are available?
Answer: 45
75% of 120 = 90 occupied; 120 − 90 = 30 available — wait, 120 × 0.25 = 30... 120 − 90 = 30, so 30 spaces are available.
A citation fine is $65.00 but doubles if not paid within 30 days. A driver pays on day 45. How much do they owe?
Answer: $130.00
Since 45 days exceeds the 30-day window, the fine doubles: $65 × 2 = $130.00.
An enforcement officer patrols a district that has 8 streets, each 0.6 miles long. How many total miles does the officer cover patrolling every street twice?
Answer: 9.6 miles
8 streets × 0.6 miles × 2 passes = 9.6 miles total.
A handicap zone citation carries a $250 base fine plus a $45 state surcharge and a $30 local fee. What is the total amount owed?
Answer: $325
$250 + $45 + $30 = $325 total.
