PSLE The table shows the charges for scooter rental. Luke rented a scooter from 11.13 a.m. to 4.10 p.m.. How much did he pay?
Scooter rental |
Charges |
First hour |
$2 |
Additional 12 hour or part thereof |
$1.80 |
From 11.13 a.m. to 12.13 p.m. = 1 h
From 12.13 p.m. to 4.10 p.m. = 3 h 57 min = 237 min
Sets of additional
12 hour
= 237 ÷ 30
= 7 r 27
Total number of sets of additional
12 hour and part thereof to pay for
= 7 + 1
= 8
Amount to pay from 11.13 a.m. to 12.13 a.m. = $2
Amount to pay from 12.13 a.m. to 4.10 p.m. = 8 x 1.80 = $14.40
Total amount that Luke paid
= 2 + 14.40
= $16.40
Answer(s): $16.40
