  1. A parking meter accepts quarters only. A driver wants to park for 2 hours, and each quarter buys 15 minutes. How many quarters are needed?

    Answer: 8

    2 hours = 120 minutes; 120 ÷ 15 = 8 quarters.

  2. An officer's vehicle gets 18 miles per gallon. Fuel costs $3.60 per gallon. What is the cost to patrol a 54-mile route?

    Answer: $10.80

    54 miles ÷ 18 mpg = 3 gallons; 3 × $3.60 = $10.80.

  3. A citation database shows 240 unpaid fines. If 35% are collected each month, how many unpaid fines remain after one month?

    Answer: 156

    35% of 240 = 84 collected; 240 − 84 = 156 remain.

  4. Between 7:00 AM and 9:00 AM, an officer observed 3 violations per 10-minute interval. How many violations were observed during the full 2-hour period?

    Answer: 36

    2 hours = 120 minutes; 120 ÷ 10 = 12 intervals; 12 × 3 = 36 violations.

  5. A parking authority collected $4,500 in fines in January. Collections rose 20% in February. What was collected in February?

    Answer: $5,400

    20% of $4,500 = $900; $4,500 + $900 = $5,400.

  6. A restricted zone sign reads '2-Hour Parking, 9 AM–6 PM.' A car is parked at 4:45 PM. At what time does the 2-hour limit expire relative to the zone restriction?

    Answer: 6:00 PM

    Although 2 hours from 4:45 PM is 6:45 PM, the zone restriction ends at 6:00 PM, so the effective limit is 6:00 PM.

  7. A city block has parking on both sides of the street. One side has 18 legal spaces; the other has 22. If 8 spaces are blocked by construction cones, how many spaces are available?

    Answer: 32

    Total spaces: 18 + 22 = 40; 40 − 8 = 32 available.
