Dylan parked his car at the carpark from 4.56 p.m to 9 p.m. How much did he pay for his parking?
From 4.56 p.m. to 5.56 p.m.: 1 h
From 5.56 p.m. to 9 p.m.: 3 h 4 min
1 h = 60 min
3 h 4 min = 3 x 60 + 4 = 184 min
Number of sets of addtional 30 min in 4 h 4 min
= 184 ÷ 30
= 6 r 4
Number of sets of 30 min that Dylan had to pay for
= 6 + 1
= 7
Amount that Dylan had to pay for 7 sets of additional 30 min
= 7 x 1.40
= $9.80
Total amount that Dylan had to pay for his parking
= 2.70 + 9.80
= $12.50
Answer(s): $12.50
