Peter parked his car at the carpark from 2.33 p.m to 9 p.m. How much did he pay for his parking?
From 2.33 p.m. to 3.33 p.m.: 1 h
From 3.33 p.m. to 9 p.m.: 5 h 27 min
1 h = 60 min
5 h 27 min = 5 x 60 + 27 = 327 min
Number of sets of addtional 30 min in 6 h 27 min
= 327 ÷ 30
= 10 r 27
Number of sets of 30 min that Peter had to pay for
= 10 + 1
= 11
Amount that Peter had to pay for 11 sets of additional 30 min
= 11 x 1.40
= $15.40
Total amount that Peter had to pay for his parking
= 2.80 + 15.40
= $18.20
Answer(s): $18.20
