PSLE The table shows the charges for skateboard rental. Reggie rented a skateboard from 11.39 a.m. to 2.11 p.m.. How much did he pay?
Skateboard rental |
Charges |
First hour |
$2 |
Additional 12 hour or part thereof |
$1.60 |
From 11.39 a.m. to 12.39 p.m. = 1 h
From 12.39 p.m. to 2.11 p.m. = 1 h 32 min = 92 min
Sets of additional
12 hour
= 92 ÷ 30
= 3 r 2
Total number of sets of additional
12 hour and part thereof to pay for
= 3 + 1
= 4
Amount to pay from 11.39 a.m. to 12.39 a.m. = $2
Amount to pay from 12.39 a.m. to 2.11 p.m. = 4 x 1.60 = $6.40
Total amount that Reggie paid
= 2 + 6.40
= $8.40
Answer(s): $8.40
