Vaidev parked his car at the carpark from 3.53 p.m to 7 p.m. How much did he pay for his parking?
From 3.53 p.m. to 4.53 p.m.: 1 h
From 4.53 p.m. to 7 p.m.: 2 h 7 min
1 h = 60 min
2 h 7 min = 2 x 60 + 7 = 127 min
Number of sets of addtional 30 min in 3 h 7 min
= 127 ÷ 30
= 4 r 7
Number of sets of 30 min that Vaidev had to pay for
= 4 + 1
= 5
Amount that Vaidev had to pay for 5 sets of additional 30 min
= 5 x 1.90
= $9.50
Total amount that Vaidev had to pay for his parking
= 3.10 + 9.50
= $12.60
Answer(s): $12.60
