Bryan parked his car at the carpark from 3.59 p.m to 6 p.m. How much did he pay for his parking?
From 3.59 p.m. to 4.59 p.m.: 1 h
From 4.59 p.m. to 6 p.m.: 1 h 1 min
1 h = 60 min
1 h 1 min = 1 x 60 + 1 = 61 min
Number of sets of addtional 30 min in 2 h 1 min
= 61 ÷ 30
= 2 r 1
Number of sets of 30 min that Bryan had to pay for
= 2 + 1
= 3
Amount that Bryan had to pay for 3 sets of additional 30 min
= 3 x 1.10
= $3.30
Total amount that Bryan had to pay for his parking
= 2.30 + 3.30
= $5.60
Answer(s): $5.60
