- Ivan parked his car at the carpark at 2.00 p.m. for 1 hour and 7 minutes. How much did he have to pay?
- Jaslyn parked her car at the car park from 6:35 p.m. on Monday to 11 a.m. on Tuesday. Find the amount of parking fee that she had to pay.
(a)
Amount that Ivan had to pay for 1 hour and 7 minutes
= 1.90 + 1.30
= $3.20
(b)
1 h = 60 min
From 6:35 p.m. to 7:35 p.m.:
1 h
Amount that Jaslyn had to pay from 6:35 p.m. to 7:35 p.m = $1.90
From 7:35 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.: 2 h 25 min
2 h 25 min = 2 x 60 + 25 = 145 min
Number of sets of additional 30 minutes in 2 h 25 min
= 145 ÷ 30
= 4 r 25
Number of sets of additional 30 minutes that Jaslyn had to pay for
= 4 + 1
= 5
Amount that Jaslyn had to pay for all the additional 30 minutes or part thereof for 2 h 25 min
= 5 x 1.30
= $6.50
From 10:00 p.m. to 6.30. a.m.
Amount that Jaslyn had to pay from 10:00 to 6.30 a.m. = $11
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 Jaslyn had to pay for all the additional 30 minutes or part thereof for 4 h 30 min
= 9 x 1.30
= $11.70
Total amount that Jaslyn had to pay
= 1.90 + 6.50 + 11 + 11.70
= $31.10
Answer(s): (a) $3.20; (b) $31.10
