PSLE The table shows the charges for scooter rental. Ken rented a scooter from 11.46 a.m. to 3.16 p.m.. How much did he pay?
Scooter rental |
Charges |
First hour |
$2 |
Additional 12 hour or part thereof |
$1.20 |
From 11.46 a.m. to 12.46 p.m. = 1 h
From 12.46 p.m. to 3.16 p.m. = 2 h 30 min = 150 min
Sets of additional
12 hour
= 150 ÷ 30
= 5 r 0
Total number of sets of additional
12 hour and part thereof to pay for
= 5 + 1
= 6
Amount to pay from 11.46 a.m. to 12.46 a.m. = $2
Amount to pay from 12.46 a.m. to 3.16 p.m. = 6 x 1.20 = $7.20
Total amount that Ken paid
= 2 + 7.20
= $9.20
Answer(s): $9.20
