Fabian parked his car at the carpark from 6.37 p.m to 9 p.m. How much did he pay for his parking?
From 6.37 p.m. to 7.37 p.m.: 1 h
From 7.37 p.m. to 9 p.m.: 1 h 23 min
1 h = 60 min
1 h 23 min = 1 x 60 + 23 = 83 min
Number of sets of addtional 30 min in 2 h 23 min
= 83 ÷ 30
= 2 r 23
Number of sets of 30 min that Fabian had to pay for
= 2 + 1
= 3
Amount that Fabian had to pay for 3 sets of additional 30 min
= 3 x 1.20
= $3.60
Total amount that Fabian had to pay for his parking
= 1.80 + 3.60
= $5.40
Answer(s): $5.40
