Pierre parked his car at the carpark from 2.32 p.m to 7 p.m. How much did he pay for his parking?
From 2.32 p.m. to 3.32 p.m.: 1 h
From 3.32 p.m. to 7 p.m.: 3 h 28 min
1 h = 60 min
3 h 28 min = 3 x 60 + 28 = 208 min
Number of sets of addtional 30 min in 4 h 28 min
= 208 ÷ 30
= 6 r 28
Number of sets of 30 min that Pierre had to pay for
= 6 + 1
= 7
Amount that Pierre had to pay for 7 sets of additional 30 min
= 7 x 1.30
= $9.10
Total amount that Pierre had to pay for his parking
= 2.60 + 9.10
= $11.70
Answer(s): $11.70
