Nick parked his car at the carpark from 1.54 p.m to 6 p.m. How much did he pay for his parking?
From 1.54 p.m. to 2.54 p.m.: 1 h
From 2.54 p.m. to 6 p.m.: 3 h 6 min
1 h = 60 min
3 h 6 min = 3 x 60 + 6 = 186 min
Number of sets of addtional 30 min in 4 h 6 min
= 186 ÷ 30
= 6 r 6
Number of sets of 30 min that Nick had to pay for
= 6 + 1
= 7
Amount that Nick had to pay for 7 sets of additional 30 min
= 7 x 1.30
= $9.10
Total amount that Nick had to pay for his parking
= 2.40 + 9.10
= $11.50
Answer(s): $11.50
