PSLE The table shows the charges for bicycle rental. Flynn rented a bicycle from 11.28 a.m. to 5.42 p.m.. How much did he pay?
Bicycle rental |
Charges |
First hour |
$5 |
Additional 12 hour or part thereof |
$1.20 |
From 11.28 a.m. to 12.28 p.m. = 1 h
From 12.28 p.m. to 5.42 p.m. = 5 h 14 min = 314 min
Sets of additional
12 hour
= 314 ÷ 30
= 10 r 14
Total number of sets of additional
12 hour and part thereof to pay for
= 10 + 1
= 11
Amount to pay from 11.28 a.m. to 12.28 a.m. = $5
Amount to pay from 12.28 a.m. to 5.42 p.m. = 11 x 1.20 = $13.20
Total amount that Flynn paid
= 5 + 13.20
= $18.20
Answer(s): $18.20
