Zane parked his car at the carpark from 2.51 p.m to 10 p.m. How much did he pay for his parking?
From 2.51 p.m. to 3.51 p.m.: 1 h
From 3.51 p.m. to 10 p.m.: 6 h 9 min
1 h = 60 min
6 h 9 min = 6 x 60 + 9 = 369 min
Number of sets of addtional 30 min in 7 h 9 min
= 369 ÷ 30
= 12 r 9
Number of sets of 30 min that Zane had to pay for
= 12 + 1
= 13
Amount that Zane had to pay for 13 sets of additional 30 min
= 13 x 1.40
= $18.20
Total amount that Zane had to pay for his parking
= 2.00 + 18.20
= $20.20
Answer(s): $20.20
