Jeremy parked his car at the carpark from 4.43 p.m to 9 p.m. How much did he pay for his parking?
From 4.43 p.m. to 5.43 p.m.: 1 h
From 5.43 p.m. to 9 p.m.: 3 h 17 min
1 h = 60 min
3 h 17 min = 3 x 60 + 17 = 197 min
Number of sets of addtional 30 min in 4 h 17 min
= 197 ÷ 30
= 6 r 17
Number of sets of 30 min that Jeremy had to pay for
= 6 + 1
= 7
Amount that Jeremy had to pay for 7 sets of additional 30 min
= 7 x 1.90
= $13.30
Total amount that Jeremy had to pay for his parking
= 2.80 + 13.30
= $16.10
Answer(s): $16.10
