PSLE The table shows the charges for bicycle rental. Tom rented a bicycle from 11.29 a.m. to 2.18 p.m.. How much did he pay?
Bicycle rental |
Charges |
First hour |
$4 |
Additional 12 hour or part thereof |
$1.80 |
From 11.29 a.m. to 12.29 p.m. = 1 h
From 12.29 p.m. to 2.18 p.m. = 1 h 49 min = 109 min
Sets of additional
12 hour
= 109 ÷ 30
= 3 r 19
Total number of sets of additional
12 hour and part thereof to pay for
= 3 + 1
= 4
Amount to pay from 11.29 a.m. to 12.29 a.m. = $4
Amount to pay from 12.29 a.m. to 2.18 p.m. = 4 x 1.80 = $7.20
Total amount that Tom paid
= 4 + 7.20
= $11.20
Answer(s): $11.20
