Mark parked his car at the carpark from 4.47 p.m to 11 p.m. How much did he pay for his parking?
From 4.47 p.m. to 5.47 p.m.: 1 h
From 5.47 p.m. to 11 p.m.: 5 h 13 min
1 h = 60 min
5 h 13 min = 5 x 60 + 13 = 313 min
Number of sets of addtional 30 min in 6 h 13 min
= 313 ÷ 30
= 10 r 13
Number of sets of 30 min that Mark had to pay for
= 10 + 1
= 11
Amount that Mark had to pay for 11 sets of additional 30 min
= 11 x 1.10
= $12.10
Total amount that Mark had to pay for his parking
= 1.70 + 12.10
= $13.80
Answer(s): $13.80
