PSLE The table shows the charges for skateboard rental. Luke rented a skateboard from 11.29 a.m. to 4.43 p.m.. How much did he pay?
Skateboard rental |
Charges |
First hour |
$4 |
Additional 12 hour or part thereof |
$1.30 |
From 11.29 a.m. to 12.29 p.m. = 1 h
From 12.29 p.m. to 4.43 p.m. = 4 h 14 min = 254 min
Sets of additional
12 hour
= 254 ÷ 30
= 8 r 14
Total number of sets of additional
12 hour and part thereof to pay for
= 8 + 1
= 9
Amount to pay from 11.29 a.m. to 12.29 a.m. = $4
Amount to pay from 12.29 a.m. to 4.43 p.m. = 9 x 1.30 = $11.70
Total amount that Luke paid
= 4 + 11.70
= $15.70
Answer(s): $15.70
