Billy parked his car at the carpark from 4.59 p.m to 10 p.m. How much did he pay for his parking?
From 4.59 p.m. to 5.59 p.m.: 1 h
From 5.59 p.m. to 10 p.m.: 4 h 1 min
1 h = 60 min
4 h 1 min = 4 x 60 + 1 = 241 min
Number of sets of addtional 30 min in 5 h 1 min
= 241 ÷ 30
= 8 r 1
Number of sets of 30 min that Billy had to pay for
= 8 + 1
= 9
Amount that Billy had to pay for 9 sets of additional 30 min
= 9 x 1.20
= $10.80
Total amount that Billy had to pay for his parking
= 2.00 + 10.80
= $12.80
Answer(s): $12.80
