Tom parked his car at the carpark from 4.58 p.m to 7 p.m. How much did he pay for his parking?
From 4.58 p.m. to 5.58 p.m.: 1 h
From 5.58 p.m. to 7 p.m.: 1 h 2 min
1 h = 60 min
1 h 2 min = 1 x 60 + 2 = 62 min
Number of sets of addtional 30 min in 2 h 2 min
= 62 ÷ 30
= 2 r 2
Number of sets of 30 min that Tom had to pay for
= 2 + 1
= 3
Amount that Tom had to pay for 3 sets of additional 30 min
= 3 x 1.30
= $3.90
Total amount that Tom had to pay for his parking
= 2.00 + 3.90
= $5.90
Answer(s): $5.90
