Warren parked his car at the carpark from 1.44 p.m to 4 p.m. How much did he pay for his parking?
From 1.44 p.m. to 2.44 p.m.: 1 h
From 2.44 p.m. to 4 p.m.: 1 h 16 min
1 h = 60 min
1 h 16 min = 1 x 60 + 16 = 76 min
Number of sets of addtional 30 min in 2 h 16 min
= 76 ÷ 30
= 2 r 16
Number of sets of 30 min that Warren had to pay for
= 2 + 1
= 3
Amount that Warren had to pay for 3 sets of additional 30 min
= 3 x 1.60
= $4.80
Total amount that Warren had to pay for his parking
= 2.50 + 4.80
= $7.30
Answer(s): $7.30
