Bryan parked his car at the carpark from 3.42 p.m to 10 p.m. How much did he pay for his parking?
From 3.42 p.m. to 4.42 p.m.: 1 h
From 4.42 p.m. to 10 p.m.: 5 h 18 min
1 h = 60 min
5 h 18 min = 5 x 60 + 18 = 318 min
Number of sets of addtional 30 min in 6 h 18 min
= 318 ÷ 30
= 10 r 18
Number of sets of 30 min that Bryan had to pay for
= 10 + 1
= 11
Amount that Bryan had to pay for 11 sets of additional 30 min
= 11 x 1.10
= $12.10
Total amount that Bryan had to pay for his parking
= 2.30 + 12.10
= $14.40
Answer(s): $14.40
