A driver is choosing between two pricing plans for evening parking in a downtown garage.
• Plan A charges a one time entry fee that covers the first 2 hours, plus $x for each additional hour or fraction of an hour beyond the first 2 hours.
• Plan B charges no entry fee, but charges $3x/2 for the first hour and $3x/2 for each additional hour or fraction of an hour beyond the first hour.
Select for Plan A entry fee and for Plan B total charge the two figures, in US dollars ($), that could be Plan A's entry fee and Plan B’s total charge for 3 hours and 20 minutes such that both plans would charge the same total amount. Make only two selections, one in each column.

A driver is choosing between two pricing plans for evening parking in a downtown garage.
• Plan A charges a one time entry fee that covers the first 2 hours, plus $x for each additional hour or fraction of an hour beyond the first 2 hours.
• Plan B charges no entry fee, but charges $3x/2 for the first hour and $3x/2 for each additional hour or fraction of an hour beyond the first hour.
Select for Plan A entry fee and for Plan B total charge the two figures, in US dollars ($), that could be Plan A's entry fee and Plan B’s total charge for 3 hours and 20 minutes such that both plans would charge the same total amount. Make only two selections, one in each column.
Plan A:
The entry fee covers the first 2 hours. Time beyond 2 hours is 1 hour 20 minutes, which is billed as 2 additional hours.
So Plan A total = F + 2x, where F is the entry fee.
Plan B:
For 3 hours 20 minutes, billing “per hour or fraction of an hour” means 4 billed hours total.
So Plan B total = 4 * (3x/2) = 6x.
Set totals equal:
F + 2x = 6x
F = 4x
Then Plan B total = 6x = 1.5F.
From the options, the only pair where the second is 1.5 times the first is:
F = 8 and Plan B total = 6x = 1.5F = 12.

GMAT Club Official Explanation:
Plan A:
The entry fee covers the first 2 hours. Time beyond 2 hours is 1 hour 20 minutes, which is billed as 2 additional hours.
So Plan A total = F + 2x, where F is the entry fee.
Plan B:
For 3 hours 20 minutes, billing “per hour or fraction of an hour” means 4 billed hours total.
So Plan B total = 4 * (3x/2) = 6x.
Set totals equal:
F + 2x = 6x
F = 4x
Then Plan B total = 6x = 1.5F.
From the options, the only pair where the second is 1.5 times the first is:
F = 8 and Plan B total = 6x = 1.5F = 12.

Bunuel
let A entry fee be - m
at 3h 20 mins we will chrage for 4 units
A = m = 2x
B = 3/2 * x* 4 = 6x
m + 2x = 6x
m= 4x
total cost = 6x
so m:T = 4:6
only possible answer is 8, 12
