Andy parked his car at the carpark from 2.53 p.m to 5 p.m. How much did he pay for his parking?
From 2.53 p.m. to 3.53 p.m.: 1 h
From 3.53 p.m. to 5 p.m.: 1 h 7 min
1 h = 60 min
1 h 7 min = 1 x 60 + 7 = 67 min
Number of sets of addtional 30 min in 2 h 7 min
= 67 ÷ 30
= 2 r 7
Number of sets of 30 min that Andy had to pay for
= 2 + 1
= 3
Amount that Andy had to pay for 3 sets of additional 30 min
= 3 x 1.50
= $4.50
Total amount that Andy had to pay for his parking
= 2.30 + 4.50
= $6.80
Answer(s): $6.80
