PSLE The table shows the charges for laser gun rental. Zane rented a laser gun from 11.37 a.m. to 4.41 p.m.. How much did he pay?
Laser Gun rental |
Charges |
First hour |
$5 |
Additional 12 hour or part thereof |
$1.10 |
From 11.37 a.m. to 12.37 p.m. = 1 h
From 12.37 p.m. to 4.41 p.m. = 4 h 4 min = 244 min
Sets of additional
12 hour
= 244 ÷ 30
= 8 r 4
Total number of sets of additional
12 hour and part thereof to pay for
= 8 + 1
= 9
Amount to pay from 11.37 a.m. to 12.37 a.m. = $5
Amount to pay from 12.37 a.m. to 4.41 p.m. = 9 x 1.10 = $9.90
Total amount that Zane paid
= 5 + 9.90
= $14.90
Answer(s): $14.90
