PSLE The table shows the charges for scooter rental. Simon rented a scooter from 11.24 a.m. to 4.41 p.m.. How much did he pay?
Scooter rental |
Charges |
First hour |
$3 |
Additional 12 hour or part thereof |
$1.40 |
From 11.24 a.m. to 12.24 p.m. = 1 h
From 12.24 p.m. to 4.41 p.m. = 4 h 17 min = 257 min
Sets of additional
12 hour
= 257 ÷ 30
= 8 r 17
Total number of sets of additional
12 hour and part thereof to pay for
= 8 + 1
= 9
Amount to pay from 11.24 a.m. to 12.24 a.m. = $3
Amount to pay from 12.24 a.m. to 4.41 p.m. = 9 x 1.40 = $12.60
Total amount that Simon paid
= 3 + 12.60
= $15.60
Answer(s): $15.60
