Neave parked his car at the carpark from 5.34 p.m to 8 p.m. How much did he pay for his parking?
From 5.34 p.m. to 6.34 p.m.: 1 h
From 6.34 p.m. to 8 p.m.: 1 h 26 min
1 h = 60 min
1 h 26 min = 1 x 60 + 26 = 86 min
Number of sets of addtional 30 min in 2 h 26 min
= 86 ÷ 30
= 2 r 26
Number of sets of 30 min that Neave had to pay for
= 2 + 1
= 3
Amount that Neave had to pay for 3 sets of additional 30 min
= 3 x 1.40
= $4.20
Total amount that Neave had to pay for his parking
= 2.60 + 4.20
= $6.80
Answer(s): $6.80
