Ryan parked his car at the carpark from 3.32 p.m to 10 p.m. How much did he pay for his parking?
From 3.32 p.m. to 4.32 p.m.: 1 h
From 4.32 p.m. to 10 p.m.: 5 h 28 min
1 h = 60 min
5 h 28 min = 5 x 60 + 28 = 328 min
Number of sets of addtional 30 min in 6 h 28 min
= 328 ÷ 30
= 10 r 28
Number of sets of 30 min that Ryan had to pay for
= 10 + 1
= 11
Amount that Ryan had to pay for 11 sets of additional 30 min
= 11 x 1.50
= $16.50
Total amount that Ryan had to pay for his parking
= 2.20 + 16.50
= $18.70
Answer(s): $18.70
