Rael parked his car at the carpark from 2.43 p.m to 7 p.m. How much did he pay for his parking?
From 2.43 p.m. to 3.43 p.m.: 1 h
From 3.43 p.m. to 7 p.m.: 3 h 17 min
1 h = 60 min
3 h 17 min = 3 x 60 + 17 = 197 min
Number of sets of addtional 30 min in 4 h 17 min
= 197 ÷ 30
= 6 r 17
Number of sets of 30 min that Rael had to pay for
= 6 + 1
= 7
Amount that Rael had to pay for 7 sets of additional 30 min
= 7 x 1.70
= $11.90
Total amount that Rael had to pay for his parking
= 2.80 + 11.90
= $14.70
Answer(s): $14.70
