PSLE The table shows the charges for skateboard rental. Vincent rented a skateboard from 11.50 a.m. to 2.32 p.m.. How much did he pay?
Skateboard rental |
Charges |
First hour |
$3 |
Additional 12 hour or part thereof |
$1.30 |
From 11.50 a.m. to 12.50 p.m. = 1 h
From 12.50 p.m. to 2.32 p.m. = 1 h 42 min = 102 min
Sets of additional
12 hour
= 102 ÷ 30
= 3 r 12
Total number of sets of additional
12 hour and part thereof to pay for
= 3 + 1
= 4
Amount to pay from 11.50 a.m. to 12.50 a.m. = $3
Amount to pay from 12.50 a.m. to 2.32 p.m. = 4 x 1.30 = $5.20
Total amount that Vincent paid
= 3 + 5.20
= $8.20
Answer(s): $8.20
