- Daniel parked his car at the carpark at 5.00 p.m. for 1 hour and 4 minutes. How much did he have to pay?
- Gabby parked her car at the car park from 5:25 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 4 minutes
= 2.50 + 2.20
= $4.70
(b)
1 h = 60 min
From 5:25 p.m. to 6:25 p.m.:
1 h
Amount that Gabby had to pay from 5:25 p.m. to 6:25 p.m = $2.50
From 6:25 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.: 3 h 35 min
3 h 35 min = 3 x 60 + 35 = 215 min
Number of sets of additional 30 minutes in 3 h 35 min
= 215 ÷ 30
= 7 r 5
Number of sets of additional 30 minutes that Gabby had to pay for
= 7 + 1
= 8
Amount that Gabby had to pay for all the additional 30 minutes or part thereof for 3 h 35 min
= 8 x 2.20
= $17.60
From 10:00 p.m. to 6.30. a.m.
Amount that Gabby had to pay from 10:00 to 6.30 a.m. = $10
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 Gabby had to pay for all the additional 30 minutes or part thereof for 3 h 30 min
= 7 x 2.20
= $15.40
Total amount that Gabby had to pay
= 2.50 + 17.60 + 10 + 15.40
= $45.50
Answer(s): (a) $4.70; (b) $45.50
