PSLE The table shows the charges for scooter rental. David rented a scooter from 11.25 a.m. to 4.46 p.m.. How much did he pay?
Scooter rental |
Charges |
First hour |
$3 |
Additional 12 hour or part thereof |
$1.90 |
From 11.25 a.m. to 12.25 p.m. = 1 h
From 12.25 p.m. to 4.46 p.m. = 4 h 21 min = 261 min
Sets of additional
12 hour
= 261 ÷ 30
= 8 r 21
Total number of sets of additional
12 hour and part thereof to pay for
= 8 + 1
= 9
Amount to pay from 11.25 a.m. to 12.25 a.m. = $3
Amount to pay from 12.25 a.m. to 4.46 p.m. = 9 x 1.90 = $17.10
Total amount that David paid
= 3 + 17.10
= $20.10
Answer(s): $20.10
