A step graph is a special type of graph that looks like steps. It is used to show how a quantity changes abruptly at certain points, staying constant between those points. Think about the cost of mailing a letter: it stays the same for a certain weight range, then jumps up to a new price for the next weight range.

$15
$20
2. If you park for 2 hours and 30 minutes, what will be the cost?
$10
$15
$20
$25
