Paul parked his car at the carpark from 3.47 p.m to 11 p.m. How much did he pay for his parking?
From 3.47 p.m. to 4.47 p.m.: 1 h
From 4.47 p.m. to 11 p.m.: 6 h 13 min
1 h = 60 min
6 h 13 min = 6 x 60 + 13 = 373 min
Number of sets of addtional 30 min in 7 h 13 min
= 373 ÷ 30
= 12 r 13
Number of sets of 30 min that Paul had to pay for
= 12 + 1
= 13
Amount that Paul had to pay for 13 sets of additional 30 min
= 13 x 1.60
= $20.80
Total amount that Paul had to pay for his parking
= 3.00 + 20.80
= $23.80
Answer(s): $23.80
