- Julian parked his car at the carpark at 8.00 a.m. for 1 hour and 25 minutes. How much did he have to pay?
- Kylie parked her car at the car park from 4:35 p.m. on Monday to 8 a.m. on Tuesday. Find the amount of parking fee that she had to pay.
(a)
Amount that Julian had to pay for 1 hour and 25 minutes
= 2.10 + 1.70
= $3.80
(b)
1 h = 60 min
From 4:35 p.m. to 5:35 p.m.:
1 h
Amount that Kylie had to pay from 4:35 p.m. to 5:35 p.m = $2.10
From 5:35 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.: 4 h 25 min
4 h 25 min = 4 x 60 + 25 = 265 min
Number of sets of additional 30 minutes in 4 h 25 min
= 265 ÷ 30
= 8 r 25
Number of sets of additional 30 minutes that Kylie had to pay for
= 8 + 1
= 9
Amount that Kylie had to pay for all the additional 30 minutes or part thereof for 4 h 25 min
= 9 x 1.70
= $15.30
From 10:00 p.m. to 6.30. a.m.
Amount that Kylie had to pay from 10:00 to 6.30 a.m. = $7
From 6.30 a.m. to 8 a.m.: 1 h 30 min
1 h 30 min = 1 x 60 + 30 = 90 min
Number of sets of additional 30 minutes in 1 h 30 min
= 90 ÷ 30
= 3
Amount that Kylie had to pay for all the additional 30 minutes or part thereof for 1 h 30 min
= 3 x 1.70
= $5.10
Total amount that Kylie had to pay
= 2.10 + 15.30 + 7 + 5.10
= $29.50
Answer(s): (a) $3.80; (b) $29.50
