Warren parked his car at the carpark from 1.58 p.m to 5 p.m. How much did he pay for his parking?
From 1.58 p.m. to 2.58 p.m.: 1 h
From 2.58 p.m. to 5 p.m.: 2 h 2 min
1 h = 60 min
2 h 2 min = 2 x 60 + 2 = 122 min
Number of sets of addtional 30 min in 3 h 2 min
= 122 ÷ 30
= 4 r 2
Number of sets of 30 min that Warren had to pay for
= 4 + 1
= 5
Amount that Warren had to pay for 5 sets of additional 30 min
= 5 x 1.10
= $5.50
Total amount that Warren had to pay for his parking
= 2.20 + 5.50
= $7.70
Answer(s): $7.70
