In parking meters downtown, you can get 15 minutes parking for 50c. Dad put $3.50 into the parking meter at 3.15pm.
At what time did the parking meter expire?
This was our group problem for group problem solving at maths time today. We had to first work out how long Dad got for parking. We then had to add on our answer to the time Dad put the money into the meter and that's how we got our answer. We ended up with this strategy.
$3.00 in the parking meter = 1hr 30mins
50c in the parking meter = 15 mins
1hr 30 + 15 = 1hr 45mins
3.15pm + 1hr 45mins = Dad will have his car parked until 5.00pm
