Albert parked his car at the carpark from 5.48 p.m to 8 p.m. How much did he pay for his parking?
From 5.48 p.m. to 6.48 p.m.: 1 h
From 6.48 p.m. to 8 p.m.: 1 h 12 min
1 h = 60 min
1 h 12 min = 1 x 60 + 12 = 72 min
Number of sets of addtional 30 min in 2 h 12 min
= 72 ÷ 30
= 2 r 12
Number of sets of 30 min that Albert had to pay for
= 2 + 1
= 3
Amount that Albert had to pay for 3 sets of additional 30 min
= 3 x 1.40
= $4.20
Total amount that Albert had to pay for his parking
= 2.00 + 4.20
= $6.20
Answer(s): $6.20
