Wesley parked his car at the carpark from 3.57 p.m to 7 p.m. How much did he pay for his parking?
From 3.57 p.m. to 4.57 p.m.: 1 h
From 4.57 p.m. to 7 p.m.: 2 h 3 min
1 h = 60 min
2 h 3 min = 2 x 60 + 3 = 123 min
Number of sets of addtional 30 min in 3 h 3 min
= 123 ÷ 30
= 4 r 3
Number of sets of 30 min that Wesley had to pay for
= 4 + 1
= 5
Amount that Wesley had to pay for 5 sets of additional 30 min
= 5 x 1.30
= $6.50
Total amount that Wesley had to pay for his parking
= 2.00 + 6.50
= $8.50
Answer(s): $8.50
