- Valen parked his car at the carpark at 7.00 p.m. for 1 hour and 56 minutes. How much did he have to pay?
- Nicole parked her car at the car park from 3:45 p.m. on Monday to 10 a.m. on Tuesday. Find the amount of parking fee that she had to pay.
(a)
Amount that Valen had to pay for 1 hour and 56 minutes
= 1.90 + 1.40 + 1.40
= $4.70
(b)
1 h = 60 min
From 3:45 p.m. to 4:45 p.m.:
1 h
Amount that Nicole had to pay from 3:45 p.m. to 4:45 p.m = $1.90
From 4:45 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.: 5 h 15 min
5 h 15 min = 5 x 60 + 15 = 315 min
Number of sets of additional 30 minutes in 5 h 15 min
= 315 ÷ 30
= 10 r 15
Number of sets of additional 30 minutes that Nicole had to pay for
= 10 + 1
= 11
Amount that Nicole had to pay for all the additional 30 minutes or part thereof for 5 h 15 min
= 11 x 1.40
= $15.40
From 10:00 p.m. to 6.30. a.m.
Amount that Nicole had to pay from 10:00 to 6.30 a.m. = $5
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 Nicole had to pay for all the additional 30 minutes or part thereof for 3 h 30 min
= 7 x 1.40
= $9.80
Total amount that Nicole had to pay
= 1.90 + 15.40 + 5 + 9.80
= $32.10
Answer(s): (a) $4.70; (b) $32.10
