Albert parked his car at the carpark from 5.56 p.m to 11 p.m. How much did he pay for his parking?
From 5.56 p.m. to 6.56 p.m.: 1 h
From 6.56 p.m. to 11 p.m.: 4 h 4 min
1 h = 60 min
4 h 4 min = 4 x 60 + 4 = 244 min
Number of sets of addtional 30 min in 5 h 4 min
= 244 ÷ 30
= 8 r 4
Number of sets of 30 min that Albert had to pay for
= 8 + 1
= 9
Amount that Albert had to pay for 9 sets of additional 30 min
= 9 x 1.50
= $13.50
Total amount that Albert had to pay for his parking
= 2.30 + 13.50
= $15.80
Answer(s): $15.80
