PSLE The table shows the charges for skateboard rental. Jenson rented a skateboard from 11.37 a.m. to 4.44 p.m.. How much did he pay?
Skateboard rental |
Charges |
First hour |
$2 |
Additional 12 hour or part thereof |
$1.20 |
From 11.37 a.m. to 12.37 p.m. = 1 h
From 12.37 p.m. to 4.44 p.m. = 4 h 7 min = 247 min
Sets of additional
12 hour
= 247 ÷ 30
= 8 r 7
Total number of sets of additional
12 hour and part thereof to pay for
= 8 + 1
= 9
Amount to pay from 11.37 a.m. to 12.37 a.m. = $2
Amount to pay from 12.37 a.m. to 4.44 p.m. = 9 x 1.20 = $10.80
Total amount that Jenson paid
= 2 + 10.80
= $12.80
Answer(s): $12.80
