Neave parked his car at the carpark from 5.47 p.m to 9 p.m. How much did he pay for his parking?
From 5.47 p.m. to 6.47 p.m.: 1 h
From 6.47 p.m. to 9 p.m.: 2 h 13 min
1 h = 60 min
2 h 13 min = 2 x 60 + 13 = 133 min
Number of sets of addtional 30 min in 3 h 13 min
= 133 ÷ 30
= 4 r 13
Number of sets of 30 min that Neave had to pay for
= 4 + 1
= 5
Amount that Neave had to pay for 5 sets of additional 30 min
= 5 x 1.50
= $7.50
Total amount that Neave had to pay for his parking
= 2.00 + 7.50
= $9.50
Answer(s): $9.50
