Luke parked his car at the carpark from 5.42 p.m to 9 p.m. How much did he pay for his parking?
From 5.42 p.m. to 6.42 p.m.: 1 h
From 6.42 p.m. to 9 p.m.: 2 h 18 min
1 h = 60 min
2 h 18 min = 2 x 60 + 18 = 138 min
Number of sets of addtional 30 min in 3 h 18 min
= 138 ÷ 30
= 4 r 18
Number of sets of 30 min that Luke had to pay for
= 4 + 1
= 5
Amount that Luke had to pay for 5 sets of additional 30 min
= 5 x 1.70
= $8.50
Total amount that Luke had to pay for his parking
= 3.00 + 8.50
= $11.50
Answer(s): $11.50
