Question

6. The parking hours to be used by three people at Vancouver Airport over 10 days are given below. 4.0 1.5 6.0 0.75 12.0 72.0 0.0 0.0 4.0 2.75 48.0 0.0 5.5 1.00 3.00 2.00 1.5 2.5 4.0 1.5 1.0 1.5 5.0 8.01.5 2.0 1.5 1.75 12.0 2.0 The rate structure for parking is: Short-term parking: First 30 minutes $2.50 and each additional 15 minutes or fraction thereof is S 1.00. Daily maximum is $ 25.00 Long-term parking: First 3 hours $ 10.00 and each additional hour or fraction thereof is $3.00. Daily maximum is $ 18.00. Weekly maximum is $ 80.00 Write a MATLAB code to decide which parking lot (short-term or long-term) should be used each time to minimize the cost and calculate the total minimum parking bill over the 10 days for each person.

Explanation / Answer

Here is the solution, do give me a thumbs uo if this helps!

p1=[4 1.5 6 0.75 12 72 0 0 4 2.75];

p2=[48 0 5.5 1 3 2 1.5 2.5 4 1.5];

p3=[1 1.5 5 8 1.5 2 1.5 1.75 12 2];

for i=1:10

if p1(i)>0.5

p1s=2.5

p1s+=ceil(p1(i)-0.5);

end

if p2(i)>0.5

p2s=2.5

p2s+=ceil(p2(i)-0.5);

end

if p3(i)>0.5

p3s=2.5

p3s+=ceil(p3(i)-0.5);

end

if p1(i)>3

p1l=10

p1l+=ceil(p1(i)-3)*3;

end

if p2(i)>3

p2l=10

p2l+=ceil(p2(i)-3)*3;

end

if p3(i)>3

p3l=10

p3l+=ceil(p3(i)-3)*3;

end

end

The code computes the cost using both long term and short term. They can be used to compare and thus compute the min value.
