Tommy parked his car at the carpark from 4.47 p.m to 9 p.m. How much did he pay for his parking?
From 4.47 p.m. to 5.47 p.m.: 1 h
From 5.47 p.m. to 9 p.m.: 3 h 13 min
1 h = 60 min
3 h 13 min = 3 x 60 + 13 = 193 min
Number of sets of addtional 30 min in 4 h 13 min
= 193 ÷ 30
= 6 r 13
Number of sets of 30 min that Tommy had to pay for
= 6 + 1
= 7
Amount that Tommy had to pay for 7 sets of additional 30 min
= 7 x 1.30
= $9.10
Total amount that Tommy had to pay for his parking
= 2.10 + 9.10
= $11.20
Answer(s): $11.20
