Michael parked his car at the carpark from 1.46 p.m to 6 p.m. How much did he pay for his parking?
From 1.46 p.m. to 2.46 p.m.: 1 h
From 2.46 p.m. to 6 p.m.: 3 h 14 min
1 h = 60 min
3 h 14 min = 3 x 60 + 14 = 194 min
Number of sets of addtional 30 min in 4 h 14 min
= 194 ÷ 30
= 6 r 14
Number of sets of 30 min that Michael had to pay for
= 6 + 1
= 7
Amount that Michael had to pay for 7 sets of additional 30 min
= 7 x 1.30
= $9.10
Total amount that Michael had to pay for his parking
= 2.00 + 9.10
= $11.10
Answer(s): $11.10
