Yoko paid $7.40 for her parking charges. What was the greatest number of hours she parked her car at the carpark?
Amount that Yoko paid for the first 4 hours = $5.00
Amount that Yoko paid after the fourth hour
= 7.40 - 5.00
= $2.40
Number of sets of $1.20
= 2.40 ÷ 1.20
= 2
Duration of the additional time
= 2 x
12 = 1 h
Greatest number of hours that Yoko parked her car at the carpark
= 4 + 1
= 5 h
Answer(s): 5 h
