PSLE The table shows the charges for bicycle rental. Tommy rented a bicycle from 11.41 a.m. to 4.38 p.m.. How much did he pay?
Bicycle rental |
Charges |
First hour |
$5 |
Additional 12 hour or part thereof |
$1.70 |
From 11.41 a.m. to 12.41 p.m. = 1 h
From 12.41 p.m. to 4.38 p.m. = 3 h 57 min = 237 min
Sets of additional
12 hour
= 237 ÷ 30
= 7 r 27
Total number of sets of additional
12 hour and part thereof to pay for
= 7 + 1
= 8
Amount to pay from 11.41 a.m. to 12.41 a.m. = $5
Amount to pay from 12.41 a.m. to 4.38 p.m. = 8 x 1.70 = $13.60
Total amount that Tommy paid
= 5 + 13.60
= $18.60
Answer(s): $18.60
