Brandon parked his car at the carpark from 5.34 p.m to 11 p.m. How much did he pay for his parking?
From 5.34 p.m. to 6.34 p.m.: 1 h
From 6.34 p.m. to 11 p.m.: 4 h 26 min
1 h = 60 min
4 h 26 min = 4 x 60 + 26 = 266 min
Number of sets of addtional 30 min in 5 h 26 min
= 266 ÷ 30
= 8 r 26
Number of sets of 30 min that Brandon had to pay for
= 8 + 1
= 9
Amount that Brandon had to pay for 9 sets of additional 30 min
= 9 x 1.10
= $9.90
Total amount that Brandon had to pay for his parking
= 1.70 + 9.90
= $11.60
Answer(s): $11.60
