Lee parked his car at the carpark from 5.47 p.m to 11 p.m. How much did he pay for his parking?
From 5.47 p.m. to 6.47 p.m.: 1 h
From 6.47 p.m. to 11 p.m.: 4 h 13 min
1 h = 60 min
4 h 13 min = 4 x 60 + 13 = 253 min
Number of sets of addtional 30 min in 5 h 13 min
= 253 ÷ 30
= 8 r 13
Number of sets of 30 min that Lee had to pay for
= 8 + 1
= 9
Amount that Lee had to pay for 9 sets of additional 30 min
= 9 x 1.80
= $16.20
Total amount that Lee had to pay for his parking
= 2.40 + 16.20
= $18.60
Answer(s): $18.60
