Perry parked his car at the carpark from 4.34 p.m to 8 p.m. How much did he pay for his parking?
From 4.34 p.m. to 5.34 p.m.: 1 h
From 5.34 p.m. to 8 p.m.: 2 h 26 min
1 h = 60 min
2 h 26 min = 2 x 60 + 26 = 146 min
Number of sets of addtional 30 min in 3 h 26 min
= 146 ÷ 30
= 4 r 26
Number of sets of 30 min that Perry had to pay for
= 4 + 1
= 5
Amount that Perry had to pay for 5 sets of additional 30 min
= 5 x 1.70
= $8.50
Total amount that Perry had to pay for his parking
= 2.90 + 8.50
= $11.40
Answer(s): $11.40
