Reggie parked his car at the carpark from 2.45 p.m to 7 p.m. How much did he pay for his parking?
From 2.45 p.m. to 3.45 p.m.: 1 h
From 3.45 p.m. to 7 p.m.: 3 h 15 min
1 h = 60 min
3 h 15 min = 3 x 60 + 15 = 195 min
Number of sets of addtional 30 min in 4 h 15 min
= 195 ÷ 30
= 6 r 15
Number of sets of 30 min that Reggie had to pay for
= 6 + 1
= 7
Amount that Reggie had to pay for 7 sets of additional 30 min
= 7 x 1.80
= $12.60
Total amount that Reggie had to pay for his parking
= 2.60 + 12.60
= $15.20
Answer(s): $15.20
