Vaidev parked his car at the carpark from 3.46 p.m to 10 p.m. How much did he pay for his parking?
From 3.46 p.m. to 4.46 p.m.: 1 h
From 4.46 p.m. to 10 p.m.: 5 h 14 min
1 h = 60 min
5 h 14 min = 5 x 60 + 14 = 314 min
Number of sets of addtional 30 min in 6 h 14 min
= 314 ÷ 30
= 10 r 14
Number of sets of 30 min that Vaidev had to pay for
= 10 + 1
= 11
Amount that Vaidev had to pay for 11 sets of additional 30 min
= 11 x 1.20
= $13.20
Total amount that Vaidev had to pay for his parking
= 2.40 + 13.20
= $15.60
Answer(s): $15.60
