PSLE The table shows the charges for bicycle rental. Ben rented a bicycle from 11.40 a.m. to 3.47 p.m.. How much did he pay?
Bicycle rental |
Charges |
First hour |
$3 |
Additional 12 hour or part thereof |
$1.20 |
From 11.40 a.m. to 12.40 p.m. = 1 h
From 12.40 p.m. to 3.47 p.m. = 3 h 7 min = 187 min
Sets of additional
12 hour
= 187 ÷ 30
= 6 r 7
Total number of sets of additional
12 hour and part thereof to pay for
= 6 + 1
= 7
Amount to pay from 11.40 a.m. to 12.40 a.m. = $3
Amount to pay from 12.40 a.m. to 3.47 p.m. = 7 x 1.20 = $8.40
Total amount that Ben paid
= 3 + 8.40
= $11.40
Answer(s): $11.40
