Julian parked his car at the carpark from 3.35 p.m to 9 p.m. How much did he pay for his parking?
From 3.35 p.m. to 4.35 p.m.: 1 h
From 4.35 p.m. to 9 p.m.: 4 h 25 min
1 h = 60 min
4 h 25 min = 4 x 60 + 25 = 265 min
Number of sets of addtional 30 min in 5 h 25 min
= 265 ÷ 30
= 8 r 25
Number of sets of 30 min that Julian had to pay for
= 8 + 1
= 9
Amount that Julian had to pay for 9 sets of additional 30 min
= 9 x 1.50
= $13.50
Total amount that Julian had to pay for his parking
= 2.60 + 13.50
= $16.10
Answer(s): $16.10
