The table shows the parking rates at a carpark.
Duration |
Charges |
First 2 hours |
$6.00 |
After the second hour |
$2.90 per 12 hour or part thereof |
Yen paid $29.20 for her parking charges. What was the greatest number of hours she parked her car at the carpark?
Amount that Yen paid for the first 2 hours = $6.00
Amount that Yen paid after the second hour
= 29.20 - 6.00
= $23.20
Number of sets of $2.90
= 23.20 ÷ 2.90
= 8
Duration of the additional time
= 8 x
12 = 4 h
Greatest number of hours that Yen parked her car at the carpark
= 2 + 4
= 6 h
Answer(s): 6 h
