Gabriel parked his car at the carpark from 4.55 p.m to 7 p.m. How much did he pay for his parking?
From 4.55 p.m. to 5.55 p.m.: 1 h
From 5.55 p.m. to 7 p.m.: 1 h 5 min
1 h = 60 min
1 h 5 min = 1 x 60 + 5 = 65 min
Number of sets of addtional 30 min in 2 h 5 min
= 65 ÷ 30
= 2 r 5
Number of sets of 30 min that Gabriel had to pay for
= 2 + 1
= 3
Amount that Gabriel had to pay for 3 sets of additional 30 min
= 3 x 1.40
= $4.20
Total amount that Gabriel had to pay for his parking
= 2.00 + 4.20
= $6.20
Answer(s): $6.20
