Ian parked his car at the carpark from 5.55 p.m to 9 p.m. How much did he pay for his parking?
From 5.55 p.m. to 6.55 p.m.: 1 h
From 6.55 p.m. to 9 p.m.: 2 h 5 min
1 h = 60 min
2 h 5 min = 2 x 60 + 5 = 125 min
Number of sets of addtional 30 min in 3 h 5 min
= 125 ÷ 30
= 4 r 5
Number of sets of 30 min that Ian had to pay for
= 4 + 1
= 5
Amount that Ian had to pay for 5 sets of additional 30 min
= 5 x 1.90
= $9.50
Total amount that Ian had to pay for his parking
= 2.60 + 9.50
= $12.10
Answer(s): $12.10
