Michael parked his car at the carpark from 5.54 p.m to 8 p.m. How much did he pay for his parking?
From 5.54 p.m. to 6.54 p.m.: 1 h
From 6.54 p.m. to 8 p.m.: 1 h 6 min
1 h = 60 min
1 h 6 min = 1 x 60 + 6 = 66 min
Number of sets of addtional 30 min in 2 h 6 min
= 66 ÷ 30
= 2 r 6
Number of sets of 30 min that Michael had to pay for
= 2 + 1
= 3
Amount that Michael had to pay for 3 sets of additional 30 min
= 3 x 1.30
= $3.90
Total amount that Michael had to pay for his parking
= 1.90 + 3.90
= $5.80
Answer(s): $5.80
