Lee parked his car at the carpark from 3.50 p.m to 6 p.m. How much did he pay for his parking?
From 3.50 p.m. to 4.50 p.m.: 1 h
From 4.50 p.m. to 6 p.m.: 1 h 10 min
1 h = 60 min
1 h 10 min = 1 x 60 + 10 = 70 min
Number of sets of addtional 30 min in 2 h 10 min
= 70 ÷ 30
= 2 r 10
Number of sets of 30 min that Lee had to pay for
= 2 + 1
= 3
Amount that Lee had to pay for 3 sets of additional 30 min
= 3 x 1.60
= $4.80
Total amount that Lee had to pay for his parking
= 2.90 + 4.80
= $7.70
Answer(s): $7.70
