PSLE The table shows the charges for scooter rental. Howard rented a scooter from 11.39 a.m. to 2.17 p.m.. How much did he pay?
Scooter rental |
Charges |
First hour |
$2 |
Additional 12 hour or part thereof |
$1.40 |
From 11.39 a.m. to 12.39 p.m. = 1 h
From 12.39 p.m. to 2.17 p.m. = 1 h 38 min = 98 min
Sets of additional
12 hour
= 98 ÷ 30
= 3 r 8
Total number of sets of additional
12 hour and part thereof to pay for
= 3 + 1
= 4
Amount to pay from 11.39 a.m. to 12.39 a.m. = $2
Amount to pay from 12.39 a.m. to 2.17 p.m. = 4 x 1.40 = $5.60
Total amount that Howard paid
= 2 + 5.60
= $7.60
Answer(s): $7.60
