PSLE The table shows the charges for scooter rental. Glen rented a scooter from 11.24 a.m. to 4.19 p.m.. How much did he pay?
Scooter rental |
Charges |
First hour |
$4 |
Additional 12 hour or part thereof |
$1.80 |
From 11.24 a.m. to 12.24 p.m. = 1 h
From 12.24 p.m. to 4.19 p.m. = 3 h 55 min = 235 min
Sets of additional
12 hour
= 235 ÷ 30
= 7 r 25
Total number of sets of additional
12 hour and part thereof to pay for
= 7 + 1
= 8
Amount to pay from 11.24 a.m. to 12.24 a.m. = $4
Amount to pay from 12.24 a.m. to 4.19 p.m. = 8 x 1.80 = $14.40
Total amount that Glen paid
= 4 + 14.40
= $18.40
Answer(s): $18.40
