- Simon parked his car at the carpark at 5.00 p.m. for 1 hour and 43 minutes. How much did he have to pay?
- Raeann parked her car at the car park from 7:35 p.m. on Monday to 10 a.m. on Tuesday. Find the amount of parking fee that she had to pay.
(a)
Amount that Simon had to pay for 1 hour and 43 minutes
= 2.60 + 1.90 + 1.90
= $6.40
(b)
1 h = 60 min
From 7:35 p.m. to 8:35 p.m.:
1 h
Amount that Raeann had to pay from 7:35 p.m. to 8:35 p.m = $2.60
From 8:35 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.: 1 h 25 min
1 h 25 min = 1 x 60 + 25 = 85 min
Number of sets of additional 30 minutes in 1 h 25 min
= 85 ÷ 30
= 2 r 25
Number of sets of additional 30 minutes that Raeann had to pay for
= 2 + 1
= 3
Amount that Raeann had to pay for all the additional 30 minutes or part thereof for 1 h 25 min
= 3 x 1.90
= $5.70
From 10:00 p.m. to 6.30. a.m.
Amount that Raeann had to pay from 10:00 to 6.30 a.m. = $7
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 Raeann had to pay for all the additional 30 minutes or part thereof for 3 h 30 min
= 7 x 1.90
= $13.30
Total amount that Raeann had to pay
= 2.60 + 5.70 + 7 + 13.30
= $28.60
Answer(s): (a) $6.40; (b) $28.60
