- Daniel parked his car at the carpark at 4.00 p.m. for 1 hour and 33 minutes. How much did he have to pay?
- Elyse parked her car at the car park from 7:15 p.m. on Monday to 10 a.m. on Tuesday. Find the amount of parking fee that she had to pay.
(a)
Amount that Daniel had to pay for 1 hour and 33 minutes
= 2.60 + 2.10 + 2.10
= $6.80
(b)
1 h = 60 min
From 7:15 p.m. to 8:15 p.m.:
1 h
Amount that Elyse had to pay from 7:15 p.m. to 8:15 p.m = $2.60
From 8:15 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.: 1 h 45 min
1 h 45 min = 1 x 60 + 45 = 105 min
Number of sets of additional 30 minutes in 1 h 45 min
= 105 ÷ 30
= 3 r 15
Number of sets of additional 30 minutes that Elyse had to pay for
= 3 + 1
= 4
Amount that Elyse had to pay for all the additional 30 minutes or part thereof for 1 h 45 min
= 4 x 2.10
= $8.40
From 10:00 p.m. to 6.30. a.m.
Amount that Elyse had to pay from 10:00 to 6.30 a.m. = $11
From 6.30 a.m. to 10 a.m.: 3 h 30 min
3 h 30 min = 3 x 60 + 30 = 210 min
Number of sets of additional 30 minutes in 3 h 30 min
= 210 ÷ 30
= 7
Amount that Elyse had to pay for all the additional 30 minutes or part thereof for 3 h 30 min
= 7 x 2.10
= $14.70
Total amount that Elyse had to pay
= 2.60 + 8.40 + 11 + 14.70
= $36.70
Answer(s): (a) $6.80; (b) $36.70
