PSLE The table shows the charges for bicycle rental. Reggie rented a bicycle from 11.43 a.m. to 3.46 p.m.. How much did he pay?
Bicycle rental |
Charges |
First hour |
$2 |
Additional 12 hour or part thereof |
$1.60 |
From 11.43 a.m. to 12.43 p.m. = 1 h
From 12.43 p.m. to 3.46 p.m. = 3 h 3 min = 183 min
Sets of additional
12 hour
= 183 ÷ 30
= 6 r 3
Total number of sets of additional
12 hour and part thereof to pay for
= 6 + 1
= 7
Amount to pay from 11.43 a.m. to 12.43 a.m. = $2
Amount to pay from 12.43 a.m. to 3.46 p.m. = 7 x 1.60 = $11.20
Total amount that Reggie paid
= 2 + 11.20
= $13.20
Answer(s): $13.20
