PSLE The table shows the charges for bicycle rental. Jenson rented a bicycle from 11.15 a.m. to 4.25 p.m.. How much did he pay?
Bicycle rental |
Charges |
First hour |
$5 |
Additional 12 hour or part thereof |
$1.30 |
From 11.15 a.m. to 12.15 p.m. = 1 h
From 12.15 p.m. to 4.25 p.m. = 4 h 10 min = 250 min
Sets of additional
12 hour
= 250 ÷ 30
= 8 r 10
Total number of sets of additional
12 hour and part thereof to pay for
= 8 + 1
= 9
Amount to pay from 11.15 a.m. to 12.15 a.m. = $5
Amount to pay from 12.15 a.m. to 4.25 p.m. = 9 x 1.30 = $11.70
Total amount that Jenson paid
= 5 + 11.70
= $16.70
Answer(s): $16.70
