Dylan parked his car at the carpark from 3.42 p.m to 7 p.m. How much did he pay for his parking?
From 3.42 p.m. to 4.42 p.m.: 1 h
From 4.42 p.m. to 7 p.m.: 2 h 18 min
1 h = 60 min
2 h 18 min = 2 x 60 + 18 = 138 min
Number of sets of addtional 30 min in 3 h 18 min
= 138 ÷ 30
= 4 r 18
Number of sets of 30 min that Dylan had to pay for
= 4 + 1
= 5
Amount that Dylan had to pay for 5 sets of additional 30 min
= 5 x 1.50
= $7.50
Total amount that Dylan had to pay for his parking
= 2.90 + 7.50
= $10.40
Answer(s): $10.40
