PSLE The table shows the charges for bicycle rental. Seth rented a bicycle from 11.17 a.m. to 5.47 p.m.. How much did he pay?
Bicycle rental |
Charges |
First hour |
$4 |
Additional 12 hour or part thereof |
$1.30 |
From 11.17 a.m. to 12.17 p.m. = 1 h
From 12.17 p.m. to 5.47 p.m. = 5 h 30 min = 330 min
Sets of additional
12 hour
= 330 ÷ 30
= 11 r 0
Total number of sets of additional
12 hour and part thereof to pay for
= 11 + 1
= 12
Amount to pay from 11.17 a.m. to 12.17 a.m. = $4
Amount to pay from 12.17 a.m. to 5.47 p.m. = 12 x 1.30 = $15.60
Total amount that Seth paid
= 4 + 15.60
= $19.60
Answer(s): $19.60
