Perry parked his car at the carpark from 3.43 p.m to 9 p.m. How much did he pay for his parking?
From 3.43 p.m. to 4.43 p.m.: 1 h
From 4.43 p.m. to 9 p.m.: 4 h 17 min
1 h = 60 min
4 h 17 min = 4 x 60 + 17 = 257 min
Number of sets of addtional 30 min in 5 h 17 min
= 257 ÷ 30
= 8 r 17
Number of sets of 30 min that Perry had to pay for
= 8 + 1
= 9
Amount that Perry had to pay for 9 sets of additional 30 min
= 9 x 1.90
= $17.10
Total amount that Perry had to pay for his parking
= 2.50 + 17.10
= $19.60
Answer(s): $19.60
