Ahmad parked his car at the carpark from 5.50 p.m to 10 p.m. How much did he pay for his parking?
From 5.50 p.m. to 6.50 p.m.: 1 h
From 6.50 p.m. to 10 p.m.: 3 h 10 min
1 h = 60 min
3 h 10 min = 3 x 60 + 10 = 190 min
Number of sets of addtional 30 min in 4 h 10 min
= 190 ÷ 30
= 6 r 10
Number of sets of 30 min that Ahmad had to pay for
= 6 + 1
= 7
Amount that Ahmad had to pay for 7 sets of additional 30 min
= 7 x 1.80
= $12.60
Total amount that Ahmad had to pay for his parking
= 3.00 + 12.60
= $15.60
Answer(s): $15.60
