Reggie parked his car at the carpark from 3.59 p.m to 9 p.m. How much did he pay for his parking?
From 3.59 p.m. to 4.59 p.m.: 1 h
From 4.59 p.m. to 9 p.m.: 4 h 1 min
1 h = 60 min
4 h 1 min = 4 x 60 + 1 = 241 min
Number of sets of addtional 30 min in 5 h 1 min
= 241 ÷ 30
= 8 r 1
Number of sets of 30 min that Reggie had to pay for
= 8 + 1
= 9
Amount that Reggie had to pay for 9 sets of additional 30 min
= 9 x 1.10
= $9.90
Total amount that Reggie had to pay for his parking
= 2.30 + 9.90
= $12.20
Answer(s): $12.20
