PSLE The table shows the charges for bicycle rental. Wesley rented a bicycle from 11.28 a.m. to 3.13 p.m.. How much did he pay?
Bicycle rental |
Charges |
First hour |
$5 |
Additional 12 hour or part thereof |
$1.70 |
From 11.28 a.m. to 12.28 p.m. = 1 h
From 12.28 p.m. to 3.13 p.m. = 2 h 45 min = 165 min
Sets of additional
12 hour
= 165 ÷ 30
= 5 r 15
Total number of sets of additional
12 hour and part thereof to pay for
= 5 + 1
= 6
Amount to pay from 11.28 a.m. to 12.28 a.m. = $5
Amount to pay from 12.28 a.m. to 3.13 p.m. = 6 x 1.70 = $10.20
Total amount that Wesley paid
= 5 + 10.20
= $15.20
Answer(s): $15.20
