Luke parked his car at the carpark from 4.41 p.m to 8 p.m. How much did he pay for his parking?
From 4.41 p.m. to 5.41 p.m.: 1 h
From 5.41 p.m. to 8 p.m.: 2 h 19 min
1 h = 60 min
2 h 19 min = 2 x 60 + 19 = 139 min
Number of sets of addtional 30 min in 3 h 19 min
= 139 ÷ 30
= 4 r 19
Number of sets of 30 min that Luke had to pay for
= 4 + 1
= 5
Amount that Luke had to pay for 5 sets of additional 30 min
= 5 x 1.30
= $6.50
Total amount that Luke had to pay for his parking
= 2.70 + 6.50
= $9.20
Answer(s): $9.20
