Lee parked his car at the carpark from 1.35 p.m to 9 p.m. How much did he pay for his parking?
From 1.35 p.m. to 2.35 p.m.: 1 h
From 2.35 p.m. to 9 p.m.: 6 h 25 min
1 h = 60 min
6 h 25 min = 6 x 60 + 25 = 385 min
Number of sets of addtional 30 min in 7 h 25 min
= 385 ÷ 30
= 12 r 25
Number of sets of 30 min that Lee had to pay for
= 12 + 1
= 13
Amount that Lee had to pay for 13 sets of additional 30 min
= 13 x 1.90
= $24.70
Total amount that Lee had to pay for his parking
= 2.80 + 24.70
= $27.50
Answer(s): $27.50
