Mark parked his car at the carpark from 6.56 p.m to 9 p.m. How much did he pay for his parking?
From 6.56 p.m. to 7.56 p.m.: 1 h
From 7.56 p.m. to 9 p.m.: 1 h 4 min
1 h = 60 min
1 h 4 min = 1 x 60 + 4 = 64 min
Number of sets of addtional 30 min in 2 h 4 min
= 64 ÷ 30
= 2 r 4
Number of sets of 30 min that Mark had to pay for
= 2 + 1
= 3
Amount that Mark had to pay for 3 sets of additional 30 min
= 3 x 1.40
= $4.20
Total amount that Mark had to pay for his parking
= 2.20 + 4.20
= $6.40
Answer(s): $6.40
