Nick parked his car at the carpark from 5.40 p.m to 10 p.m. How much did he pay for his parking?
From 5.40 p.m. to 6.40 p.m.: 1 h
From 6.40 p.m. to 10 p.m.: 3 h 20 min
1 h = 60 min
3 h 20 min = 3 x 60 + 20 = 200 min
Number of sets of addtional 30 min in 4 h 20 min
= 200 ÷ 30
= 6 r 20
Number of sets of 30 min that Nick had to pay for
= 6 + 1
= 7
Amount that Nick had to pay for 7 sets of additional 30 min
= 7 x 1.90
= $13.30
Total amount that Nick had to pay for his parking
= 2.50 + 13.30
= $15.80
Answer(s): $15.80
