Xavier parked his car at the carpark from 5.45 p.m to 9 p.m. How much did he pay for his parking?
From 5.45 p.m. to 6.45 p.m.: 1 h
From 6.45 p.m. to 9 p.m.: 2 h 15 min
1 h = 60 min
2 h 15 min = 2 x 60 + 15 = 135 min
Number of sets of addtional 30 min in 3 h 15 min
= 135 ÷ 30
= 4 r 15
Number of sets of 30 min that Xavier had to pay for
= 4 + 1
= 5
Amount that Xavier had to pay for 5 sets of additional 30 min
= 5 x 1.50
= $7.50
Total amount that Xavier had to pay for his parking
= 2.80 + 7.50
= $10.30
Answer(s): $10.30
