Seth parked his car at the carpark from 1.32 p.m to 7 p.m. How much did he pay for his parking?
From 1.32 p.m. to 2.32 p.m.: 1 h
From 2.32 p.m. to 7 p.m.: 4 h 28 min
1 h = 60 min
4 h 28 min = 4 x 60 + 28 = 268 min
Number of sets of addtional 30 min in 5 h 28 min
= 268 ÷ 30
= 8 r 28
Number of sets of 30 min that Seth had to pay for
= 8 + 1
= 9
Amount that Seth had to pay for 9 sets of additional 30 min
= 9 x 1.60
= $14.40
Total amount that Seth had to pay for his parking
= 2.50 + 14.40
= $16.90
Answer(s): $16.90
