Jenson parked his car at the carpark from 2.53 p.m to 9 p.m. How much did he pay for his parking?
From 2.53 p.m. to 3.53 p.m.: 1 h
From 3.53 p.m. to 9 p.m.: 5 h 7 min
1 h = 60 min
5 h 7 min = 5 x 60 + 7 = 307 min
Number of sets of addtional 30 min in 6 h 7 min
= 307 ÷ 30
= 10 r 7
Number of sets of 30 min that Jenson had to pay for
= 10 + 1
= 11
Amount that Jenson had to pay for 11 sets of additional 30 min
= 11 x 1.50
= $16.50
Total amount that Jenson had to pay for his parking
= 2.00 + 16.50
= $18.50
Answer(s): $18.50
