- Dylan parked his car at the carpark at 3.00 p.m. for 1 hour and 58 minutes. How much did he have to pay?
- Nicole parked her car at the car park from 3:25 p.m. on Monday to 11 a.m. on Tuesday. Find the amount of parking fee that she had to pay.
(a)
Amount that Dylan had to pay for 1 hour and 58 minutes
= 2.80 + 2.30 + 2.30
= $7.40
(b)
1 h = 60 min
From 3:25 p.m. to 4:25 p.m.:
1 h
Amount that Nicole had to pay from 3:25 p.m. to 4:25 p.m = $2.80
From 4:25 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.: 5 h 35 min
5 h 35 min = 5 x 60 + 35 = 335 min
Number of sets of additional 30 minutes in 5 h 35 min
= 335 ÷ 30
= 11 r 5
Number of sets of additional 30 minutes that Nicole had to pay for
= 11 + 1
= 12
Amount that Nicole had to pay for all the additional 30 minutes or part thereof for 5 h 35 min
= 12 x 2.30
= $27.60
From 10:00 p.m. to 6.30. a.m.
Amount that Nicole had to pay from 10:00 to 6.30 a.m. = $7
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 Nicole had to pay for all the additional 30 minutes or part thereof for 4 h 30 min
= 9 x 2.30
= $20.70
Total amount that Nicole had to pay
= 2.80 + 27.60 + 7 + 20.70
= $58.10
Answer(s): (a) $7.40; (b) $58.10
