Ian parked his car at the carpark from 1.31 p.m to 7 p.m. How much did he pay for his parking?
From 1.31 p.m. to 2.31 p.m.: 1 h
From 2.31 p.m. to 7 p.m.: 4 h 29 min
1 h = 60 min
4 h 29 min = 4 x 60 + 29 = 269 min
Number of sets of addtional 30 min in 5 h 29 min
= 269 ÷ 30
= 8 r 29
Number of sets of 30 min that Ian had to pay for
= 8 + 1
= 9
Amount that Ian had to pay for 9 sets of additional 30 min
= 9 x 1.60
= $14.40
Total amount that Ian had to pay for his parking
= 2.70 + 14.40
= $17.10
Answer(s): $17.10
