Pierre parked his car at the carpark from 1.43 p.m to 4 p.m. How much did he pay for his parking?
From 1.43 p.m. to 2.43 p.m.: 1 h
From 2.43 p.m. to 4 p.m.: 1 h 17 min
1 h = 60 min
1 h 17 min = 1 x 60 + 17 = 77 min
Number of sets of addtional 30 min in 2 h 17 min
= 77 ÷ 30
= 2 r 17
Number of sets of 30 min that Pierre had to pay for
= 2 + 1
= 3
Amount that Pierre had to pay for 3 sets of additional 30 min
= 3 x 1.50
= $4.50
Total amount that Pierre had to pay for his parking
= 2.10 + 4.50
= $6.60
Answer(s): $6.60
