PSLE The table shows the charges for bicycle rental. Paul rented a bicycle from 11.14 a.m. to 4.32 p.m.. How much did he pay?
Bicycle rental |
Charges |
First hour |
$3 |
Additional 12 hour or part thereof |
$1.90 |
From 11.14 a.m. to 12.14 p.m. = 1 h
From 12.14 p.m. to 4.32 p.m. = 4 h 18 min = 258 min
Sets of additional
12 hour
= 258 ÷ 30
= 8 r 18
Total number of sets of additional
12 hour and part thereof to pay for
= 8 + 1
= 9
Amount to pay from 11.14 a.m. to 12.14 a.m. = $3
Amount to pay from 12.14 a.m. to 4.32 p.m. = 9 x 1.90 = $17.10
Total amount that Paul paid
= 3 + 17.10
= $20.10
Answer(s): $20.10
