Michael parked his car at the carpark from 2.39 p.m to 7 p.m. How much did he pay for his parking?
From 2.39 p.m. to 3.39 p.m.: 1 h
From 3.39 p.m. to 7 p.m.: 3 h 21 min
1 h = 60 min
3 h 21 min = 3 x 60 + 21 = 201 min
Number of sets of addtional 30 min in 4 h 21 min
= 201 ÷ 30
= 6 r 21
Number of sets of 30 min that Michael had to pay for
= 6 + 1
= 7
Amount that Michael had to pay for 7 sets of additional 30 min
= 7 x 1.60
= $11.20
Total amount that Michael had to pay for his parking
= 2.20 + 11.20
= $13.40
Answer(s): $13.40
