Cody parked his car at the carpark from 4.36 p.m to 7 p.m. How much did he pay for his parking?
From 4.36 p.m. to 5.36 p.m.: 1 h
From 5.36 p.m. to 7 p.m.: 1 h 24 min
1 h = 60 min
1 h 24 min = 1 x 60 + 24 = 84 min
Number of sets of addtional 30 min in 2 h 24 min
= 84 ÷ 30
= 2 r 24
Number of sets of 30 min that Cody had to pay for
= 2 + 1
= 3
Amount that Cody had to pay for 3 sets of additional 30 min
= 3 x 1.50
= $4.50
Total amount that Cody had to pay for his parking
= 2.80 + 4.50
= $7.30
Answer(s): $7.30
