Japheth parked his car at the carpark from 1.41 p.m to 8 p.m. How much did he pay for his parking?
From 1.41 p.m. to 2.41 p.m.: 1 h
From 2.41 p.m. to 8 p.m.: 5 h 19 min
1 h = 60 min
5 h 19 min = 5 x 60 + 19 = 319 min
Number of sets of addtional 30 min in 6 h 19 min
= 319 ÷ 30
= 10 r 19
Number of sets of 30 min that Japheth had to pay for
= 10 + 1
= 11
Amount that Japheth had to pay for 11 sets of additional 30 min
= 11 x 1.50
= $16.50
Total amount that Japheth had to pay for his parking
= 2.90 + 16.50
= $19.40
Answer(s): $19.40
