Ben parked his car at the carpark from 2.54 p.m to 10 p.m. How much did he pay for his parking?
From 2.54 p.m. to 3.54 p.m.: 1 h
From 3.54 p.m. to 10 p.m.: 6 h 6 min
1 h = 60 min
6 h 6 min = 6 x 60 + 6 = 366 min
Number of sets of addtional 30 min in 7 h 6 min
= 366 ÷ 30
= 12 r 6
Number of sets of 30 min that Ben had to pay for
= 12 + 1
= 13
Amount that Ben had to pay for 13 sets of additional 30 min
= 13 x 1.80
= $23.40
Total amount that Ben had to pay for his parking
= 3.00 + 23.40
= $26.40
Answer(s): $26.40
