Simon parked his car at the carpark from 1.44 p.m to 7 p.m. How much did he pay for his parking?
From 1.44 p.m. to 2.44 p.m.: 1 h
From 2.44 p.m. to 7 p.m.: 4 h 16 min
1 h = 60 min
4 h 16 min = 4 x 60 + 16 = 256 min
Number of sets of addtional 30 min in 5 h 16 min
= 256 ÷ 30
= 8 r 16
Number of sets of 30 min that Simon had to pay for
= 8 + 1
= 9
Amount that Simon had to pay for 9 sets of additional 30 min
= 9 x 1.50
= $13.50
Total amount that Simon had to pay for his parking
= 2.80 + 13.50
= $16.30
Answer(s): $16.30
