Zane parked his car at the carpark from 2.56 p.m to 6 p.m. How much did he pay for his parking?
From 2.56 p.m. to 3.56 p.m.: 1 h
From 3.56 p.m. to 6 p.m.: 2 h 4 min
1 h = 60 min
2 h 4 min = 2 x 60 + 4 = 124 min
Number of sets of addtional 30 min in 3 h 4 min
= 124 ÷ 30
= 4 r 4
Number of sets of 30 min that Zane had to pay for
= 4 + 1
= 5
Amount that Zane had to pay for 5 sets of additional 30 min
= 5 x 1.90
= $9.50
Total amount that Zane had to pay for his parking
= 3.00 + 9.50
= $12.50
Answer(s): $12.50
