Fred parked his car at the carpark from 2.46 p.m to 8 p.m. How much did he pay for his parking?
From 2.46 p.m. to 3.46 p.m.: 1 h
From 3.46 p.m. to 8 p.m.: 4 h 14 min
1 h = 60 min
4 h 14 min = 4 x 60 + 14 = 254 min
Number of sets of addtional 30 min in 5 h 14 min
= 254 ÷ 30
= 8 r 14
Number of sets of 30 min that Fred had to pay for
= 8 + 1
= 9
Amount that Fred had to pay for 9 sets of additional 30 min
= 9 x 1.80
= $16.20
Total amount that Fred had to pay for his parking
= 3.20 + 16.20
= $19.40
Answer(s): $19.40
