Andy parked his car at the carpark from 1.55 p.m to 4 p.m. How much did he pay for his parking?
From 1.55 p.m. to 2.55 p.m.: 1 h
From 2.55 p.m. to 4 p.m.: 1 h 5 min
1 h = 60 min
1 h 5 min = 1 x 60 + 5 = 65 min
Number of sets of addtional 30 min in 2 h 5 min
= 65 ÷ 30
= 2 r 5
Number of sets of 30 min that Andy had to pay for
= 2 + 1
= 3
Amount that Andy had to pay for 3 sets of additional 30 min
= 3 x 1.90
= $5.70
Total amount that Andy had to pay for his parking
= 2.70 + 5.70
= $8.40
Answer(s): $8.40
