Vaidev parked his car at the carpark from 2.48 p.m to 10 p.m. How much did he pay for his parking?
From 2.48 p.m. to 3.48 p.m.: 1 h
From 3.48 p.m. to 10 p.m.: 6 h 12 min
1 h = 60 min
6 h 12 min = 6 x 60 + 12 = 372 min
Number of sets of addtional 30 min in 7 h 12 min
= 372 ÷ 30
= 12 r 12
Number of sets of 30 min that Vaidev had to pay for
= 12 + 1
= 13
Amount that Vaidev had to pay for 13 sets of additional 30 min
= 13 x 1.40
= $18.20
Total amount that Vaidev had to pay for his parking
= 1.90 + 18.20
= $20.10
Answer(s): $20.10
