Eric parked his car at the carpark from 3.57 p.m to 6 p.m. How much did he pay for his parking?
From 3.57 p.m. to 4.57 p.m.: 1 h
From 4.57 p.m. to 6 p.m.: 1 h 3 min
1 h = 60 min
1 h 3 min = 1 x 60 + 3 = 63 min
Number of sets of addtional 30 min in 2 h 3 min
= 63 ÷ 30
= 2 r 3
Number of sets of 30 min that Eric had to pay for
= 2 + 1
= 3
Amount that Eric had to pay for 3 sets of additional 30 min
= 3 x 1.70
= $5.10
Total amount that Eric had to pay for his parking
= 3.20 + 5.10
= $8.30
Answer(s): $8.30
