Liam parked his car at the carpark from 4.52 p.m to 7 p.m. How much did he pay for his parking?
From 4.52 p.m. to 5.52 p.m.: 1 h
From 5.52 p.m. to 7 p.m.: 1 h 8 min
1 h = 60 min
1 h 8 min = 1 x 60 + 8 = 68 min
Number of sets of addtional 30 min in 2 h 8 min
= 68 ÷ 30
= 2 r 8
Number of sets of 30 min that Liam had to pay for
= 2 + 1
= 3
Amount that Liam had to pay for 3 sets of additional 30 min
= 3 x 1.90
= $5.70
Total amount that Liam had to pay for his parking
= 2.40 + 5.70
= $8.10
Answer(s): $8.10
