Wesley parked his car at the carpark from 5.32 p.m to 8 p.m. How much did he pay for his parking?
From 5.32 p.m. to 6.32 p.m.: 1 h
From 6.32 p.m. to 8 p.m.: 1 h 28 min
1 h = 60 min
1 h 28 min = 1 x 60 + 28 = 88 min
Number of sets of addtional 30 min in 2 h 28 min
= 88 ÷ 30
= 2 r 28
Number of sets of 30 min that Wesley had to pay for
= 2 + 1
= 3
Amount that Wesley had to pay for 3 sets of additional 30 min
= 3 x 1.20
= $3.60
Total amount that Wesley had to pay for his parking
= 2.70 + 3.60
= $6.30
Answer(s): $6.30
