Eric parked his car at the carpark from 4.32 p.m to 7 p.m. How much did he pay for his parking?
From 4.32 p.m. to 5.32 p.m.: 1 h
From 5.32 p.m. to 7 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 Eric had to pay for
= 2 + 1
= 3
Amount that Eric had to pay for 3 sets of additional 30 min
= 3 x 1.90
= $5.70
Total amount that Eric had to pay for his parking
= 3.00 + 5.70
= $8.70
Answer(s): $8.70
