PSLE The table shows the charges for scooter rental. Daniel rented a scooter from 11.48 a.m. to 3.46 p.m.. How much did he pay?
Scooter rental |
Charges |
First hour |
$5 |
Additional 12 hour or part thereof |
$1.30 |
From 11.48 a.m. to 12.48 p.m. = 1 h
From 12.48 p.m. to 3.46 p.m. = 2 h 58 min = 178 min
Sets of additional
12 hour
= 178 ÷ 30
= 5 r 28
Total number of sets of additional
12 hour and part thereof to pay for
= 5 + 1
= 6
Amount to pay from 11.48 a.m. to 12.48 a.m. = $5
Amount to pay from 12.48 a.m. to 3.46 p.m. = 6 x 1.30 = $7.80
Total amount that Daniel paid
= 5 + 7.80
= $12.80
Answer(s): $12.80
