Question

a parking lot charges $1.50 for the first hour of parking and 55 cents for each additional half hour how much would it cost to park a car from 12:45pm to 6:15 pm

Answer 1

12:45 - 6:15 = 5.5 hours

That's 1 hour plus 9 additional half-hours.

Answer 2

12:45pm - 6:15pm - is 6Hr 30Min
or
6hr 1half hr...
less 1 hr at 1.50$ leaving 5hr and 1 half hour

5 full hr x 2 half hours/hr = 10half hrs + 1 half hr = 11 half hr

11 half hr @ .55 cents = 6.05$

6.05$ for 11 half hrs + 1.50$ for the initial hour = 7.55$

Answer 3

12:45pm to 6:15pm is 5hour and 30 minutes.
convert this to half hours so 5*2 half hour + 1half hour

here 1 hour charge is $1.50 and additional 0.55 cents

by calculating just additional hours
4*2 half hour + 1 half hour =8 half hour + 1 half hour = 9 half hours

additional .55 cent charge per hour
9 half hour * 0.55 cents = 4.95

now add the intial charge for 1hour.
ie, 4.95+$1.50= $ 6.45

Answer 4

12:45 to 6:15 is 5:30 minutes.
(12:45 + 15 minute is 1p.m. we have 30 minutes)
Now we have to count 1p.m. to 6p.m. is 5 hours.
The first an hour $1.50
We have additional half hour 4:30 miutes= half hour for 9 ×55 cents
=495÷100= $4.95+$1.50= $6.45
