A city parking garage charges a flat rate or $3.00 for parking 1 hour or less, and $0.50 Per hour for each additional hour. Write a linear equation that gives the total charge, C, in terms or additional hours, h, parked.

The linear equation relates the total charge C with the number of additional hours is:

C = $3.00 + $0.50*h

How to get the linear equation?

A general linear equation is:

y = a*x +b

Where a is the slope and b is the y-intercept or constant.

Here we know that there is a cost of $3.00 for the first hour or less, and then the cost increases by $0.50 for each additional hour.

Then if we want a function that relates the total charge C with the number of additional hours, we can write:

C = fixed cost + cost per additional hour*number of additional hours.

C = $3.00 + $0.50*h

That is the linear equation that we wanted.
