Xavier parked his car at the carpark from 4.49 p.m to 7 p.m. How much did he pay for his parking?
From 4.49 p.m. to 5.49 p.m.: 1 h
From 5.49 p.m. to 7 p.m.: 1 h 11 min
1 h = 60 min
1 h 11 min = 1 x 60 + 11 = 71 min
Number of sets of addtional 30 min in 2 h 11 min
= 71 ÷ 30
= 2 r 11
Number of sets of 30 min that Xavier had to pay for
= 2 + 1
= 3
Amount that Xavier had to pay for 3 sets of additional 30 min
= 3 x 1.70
= $5.10
Total amount that Xavier had to pay for his parking
= 2.50 + 5.10
= $7.60
Answer(s): $7.60
