PSLE The table shows the charges for scooter rental. Lee rented a scooter from 11.26 a.m. to 3.15 p.m.. How much did he pay?
Scooter rental |
Charges |
First hour |
$3 |
Additional 12 hour or part thereof |
$1.70 |
From 11.26 a.m. to 12.26 p.m. = 1 h
From 12.26 p.m. to 3.15 p.m. = 2 h 49 min = 169 min
Sets of additional
12 hour
= 169 ÷ 30
= 5 r 19
Total number of sets of additional
12 hour and part thereof to pay for
= 5 + 1
= 6
Amount to pay from 11.26 a.m. to 12.26 a.m. = $3
Amount to pay from 12.26 a.m. to 3.15 p.m. = 6 x 1.70 = $10.20
Total amount that Lee paid
= 3 + 10.20
= $13.20
Answer(s): $13.20
