PSLE The table shows the charges for skateboard rental. Asher rented a skateboard from 11.44 a.m. to 4.16 p.m.. How much did he pay?
Skateboard rental |
Charges |
First hour |
$5 |
Additional 12 hour or part thereof |
$1.30 |
From 11.44 a.m. to 12.44 p.m. = 1 h
From 12.44 p.m. to 4.16 p.m. = 3 h 32 min = 212 min
Sets of additional
12 hour
= 212 ÷ 30
= 7 r 2
Total number of sets of additional
12 hour and part thereof to pay for
= 7 + 1
= 8
Amount to pay from 11.44 a.m. to 12.44 a.m. = $5
Amount to pay from 12.44 a.m. to 4.16 p.m. = 8 x 1.30 = $10.40
Total amount that Asher paid
= 5 + 10.40
= $15.40
Answer(s): $15.40
