PSLE The table shows the charges for scooter rental. Seth rented a scooter from 11.23 a.m. to 2.22 p.m.. How much did he pay?
Scooter rental |
Charges |
First hour |
$4 |
Additional 12 hour or part thereof |
$1.80 |
From 11.23 a.m. to 12.23 p.m. = 1 h
From 12.23 p.m. to 2.22 p.m. = 1 h 59 min = 119 min
Sets of additional
12 hour
= 119 ÷ 30
= 3 r 29
Total number of sets of additional
12 hour and part thereof to pay for
= 3 + 1
= 4
Amount to pay from 11.23 a.m. to 12.23 a.m. = $4
Amount to pay from 12.23 a.m. to 2.22 p.m. = 4 x 1.80 = $7.20
Total amount that Seth paid
= 4 + 7.20
= $11.20
Answer(s): $11.20
