PSLE The table shows the charges for laser gun rental. Xavier rented a laser gun from 11.25 a.m. to 3.46 p.m.. How much did he pay?
Laser Gun rental |
Charges |
First hour |
$2 |
Additional 12 hour or part thereof |
$1.40 |
From 11.25 a.m. to 12.25 p.m. = 1 h
From 12.25 p.m. to 3.46 p.m. = 3 h 21 min = 201 min
Sets of additional
12 hour
= 201 ÷ 30
= 6 r 21
Total number of sets of additional
12 hour and part thereof to pay for
= 6 + 1
= 7
Amount to pay from 11.25 a.m. to 12.25 a.m. = $2
Amount to pay from 12.25 a.m. to 3.46 p.m. = 7 x 1.40 = $9.80
Total amount that Xavier paid
= 2 + 9.80
= $11.80
Answer(s): $11.80
