Gabriel parked his car at the carpark from 3.36 p.m to 10 p.m. How much did he pay for his parking?
From 3.36 p.m. to 4.36 p.m.: 1 h
From 4.36 p.m. to 10 p.m.: 5 h 24 min
1 h = 60 min
5 h 24 min = 5 x 60 + 24 = 324 min
Number of sets of addtional 30 min in 6 h 24 min
= 324 ÷ 30
= 10 r 24
Number of sets of 30 min that Gabriel had to pay for
= 10 + 1
= 11
Amount that Gabriel had to pay for 11 sets of additional 30 min
= 11 x 1.40
= $15.40
Total amount that Gabriel had to pay for his parking
= 2.30 + 15.40
= $17.70
Answer(s): $17.70
