PSLE The table shows the charges for scooter rental. Billy rented a scooter from 11.13 a.m. to 2.33 p.m.. How much did he pay?
Scooter rental |
Charges |
First hour |
$5 |
Additional 12 hour or part thereof |
$1.50 |
From 11.13 a.m. to 12.13 p.m. = 1 h
From 12.13 p.m. to 2.33 p.m. = 2 h 20 min = 140 min
Sets of additional
12 hour
= 140 ÷ 30
= 4 r 20
Total number of sets of additional
12 hour and part thereof to pay for
= 4 + 1
= 5
Amount to pay from 11.13 a.m. to 12.13 a.m. = $5
Amount to pay from 12.13 a.m. to 2.33 p.m. = 5 x 1.50 = $7.50
Total amount that Billy paid
= 5 + 7.50
= $12.50
Answer(s): $12.50
