Bryan parked his car at the carpark from 1.35 p.m to 6 p.m. How much did he pay for his parking?
From 1.35 p.m. to 2.35 p.m.: 1 h
From 2.35 p.m. to 6 p.m.: 3 h 25 min
1 h = 60 min
3 h 25 min = 3 x 60 + 25 = 205 min
Number of sets of addtional 30 min in 4 h 25 min
= 205 ÷ 30
= 6 r 25
Number of sets of 30 min that Bryan had to pay for
= 6 + 1
= 7
Amount that Bryan had to pay for 7 sets of additional 30 min
= 7 x 1.50
= $10.50
Total amount that Bryan had to pay for his parking
= 2.10 + 10.50
= $12.60
Answer(s): $12.60
