- Jeremy parked his car at the carpark at 8.00 p.m. for 1 hour and 52 minutes. How much did he have to pay?
- Pamela parked her car at the car park from 7:40 p.m. on Monday to 11 a.m. on Tuesday. Find the amount of parking fee that she had to pay.
(a)
Amount that Jeremy had to pay for 1 hour and 52 minutes
= 2.20 + 1.60 + 1.60
= $5.40
(b)
1 h = 60 min
From 7:40 p.m. to 8:40 p.m.:
1 h
Amount that Pamela had to pay from 7:40 p.m. to 8:40 p.m = $2.20
From 8:40 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.: 1 h 20 min
1 h 20 min = 1 x 60 + 20 = 80 min
Number of sets of additional 30 minutes in 1 h 20 min
= 80 ÷ 30
= 2 r 20
Number of sets of additional 30 minutes that Pamela had to pay for
= 2 + 1
= 3
Amount that Pamela had to pay for all the additional 30 minutes or part thereof for 1 h 20 min
= 3 x 1.60
= $4.80
From 10:00 p.m. to 6.30. a.m.
Amount that Pamela had to pay from 10:00 to 6.30 a.m. = $5
From 6.30 a.m. to 11 a.m.: 4 h 30 min
4 h 30 min = 4 x 60 + 30 = 270 min
Number of sets of additional 30 minutes in 4 h 30 min
= 270 ÷ 30
= 9
Amount that Pamela had to pay for all the additional 30 minutes or part thereof for 4 h 30 min
= 9 x 1.60
= $14.40
Total amount that Pamela had to pay
= 2.20 + 4.80 + 5 + 14.40
= $26.40
Answer(s): (a) $5.40; (b) $26.40
