PSLE The table shows the charges for skateboard rental. Valen rented a skateboard from 11.40 a.m. to 2.28 p.m.. How much did he pay?
Skateboard rental |
Charges |
First hour |
$4 |
Additional 12 hour or part thereof |
$1.10 |
From 11.40 a.m. to 12.40 p.m. = 1 h
From 12.40 p.m. to 2.28 p.m. = 1 h 48 min = 108 min
Sets of additional
12 hour
= 108 ÷ 30
= 3 r 18
Total number of sets of additional
12 hour and part thereof to pay for
= 3 + 1
= 4
Amount to pay from 11.40 a.m. to 12.40 a.m. = $4
Amount to pay from 12.40 a.m. to 2.28 p.m. = 4 x 1.10 = $4.40
Total amount that Valen paid
= 4 + 4.40
= $8.40
Answer(s): $8.40
