PSLE The table shows the charges for skateboard rental. Xavier rented a skateboard from 11.26 a.m. to 5.36 p.m.. How much did he pay?
Skateboard rental |
Charges |
First hour |
$4 |
Additional 12 hour or part thereof |
$1.20 |
From 11.26 a.m. to 12.26 p.m. = 1 h
From 12.26 p.m. to 5.36 p.m. = 5 h 10 min = 310 min
Sets of additional
12 hour
= 310 ÷ 30
= 10 r 10
Total number of sets of additional
12 hour and part thereof to pay for
= 10 + 1
= 11
Amount to pay from 11.26 a.m. to 12.26 a.m. = $4
Amount to pay from 12.26 a.m. to 5.36 p.m. = 11 x 1.20 = $13.20
Total amount that Xavier paid
= 4 + 13.20
= $17.20
Answer(s): $17.20
