Tim parked his car at the carpark from 5.41 p.m to 10 p.m. How much did he pay for his parking?
From 5.41 p.m. to 6.41 p.m.: 1 h
From 6.41 p.m. to 10 p.m.: 3 h 19 min
1 h = 60 min
3 h 19 min = 3 x 60 + 19 = 199 min
Number of sets of addtional 30 min in 4 h 19 min
= 199 ÷ 30
= 6 r 19
Number of sets of 30 min that Tim had to pay for
= 6 + 1
= 7
Amount that Tim had to pay for 7 sets of additional 30 min
= 7 x 1.40
= $9.80
Total amount that Tim had to pay for his parking
= 2.50 + 9.80
= $12.30
Answer(s): $12.30
