Ben parked his car at the carpark from 1.49 p.m to 5 p.m. How much did he pay for his parking?
From 1.49 p.m. to 2.49 p.m.: 1 h
From 2.49 p.m. to 5 p.m.: 2 h 11 min
1 h = 60 min
2 h 11 min = 2 x 60 + 11 = 131 min
Number of sets of addtional 30 min in 3 h 11 min
= 131 ÷ 30
= 4 r 11
Number of sets of 30 min that Ben had to pay for
= 4 + 1
= 5
Amount that Ben had to pay for 5 sets of additional 30 min
= 5 x 1.90
= $9.50
Total amount that Ben had to pay for his parking
= 3.00 + 9.50
= $12.50
Answer(s): $12.50
