Charlie parked his car at the carpark from 3.46 p.m to 6 p.m. How much did he pay for his parking?
From 3.46 p.m. to 4.46 p.m.: 1 h
From 4.46 p.m. to 6 p.m.: 1 h 14 min
1 h = 60 min
1 h 14 min = 1 x 60 + 14 = 74 min
Number of sets of addtional 30 min in 2 h 14 min
= 74 ÷ 30
= 2 r 14
Number of sets of 30 min that Charlie had to pay for
= 2 + 1
= 3
Amount that Charlie had to pay for 3 sets of additional 30 min
= 3 x 1.30
= $3.90
Total amount that Charlie had to pay for his parking
= 2.40 + 3.90
= $6.30
Answer(s): $6.30
