PSLE The table shows the charges for skateboard rental. Oscar rented a skateboard from 11.16 a.m. to 4.44 p.m.. How much did he pay?
Skateboard rental |
Charges |
First hour |
$4 |
Additional 12 hour or part thereof |
$1.20 |
From 11.16 a.m. to 12.16 p.m. = 1 h
From 12.16 p.m. to 4.44 p.m. = 4 h 28 min = 268 min
Sets of additional
12 hour
= 268 ÷ 30
= 8 r 28
Total number of sets of additional
12 hour and part thereof to pay for
= 8 + 1
= 9
Amount to pay from 11.16 a.m. to 12.16 a.m. = $4
Amount to pay from 12.16 a.m. to 4.44 p.m. = 9 x 1.20 = $10.80
Total amount that Oscar paid
= 4 + 10.80
= $14.80
Answer(s): $14.80
