PSLE The table shows the charges for skateboard rental. Ivan rented a skateboard from 11.29 a.m. to 3.45 p.m.. How much did he pay?
Skateboard rental |
Charges |
First hour |
$5 |
Additional 12 hour or part thereof |
$1.50 |
From 11.29 a.m. to 12.29 p.m. = 1 h
From 12.29 p.m. to 3.45 p.m. = 3 h 16 min = 196 min
Sets of additional
12 hour
= 196 ÷ 30
= 6 r 16
Total number of sets of additional
12 hour and part thereof to pay for
= 6 + 1
= 7
Amount to pay from 11.29 a.m. to 12.29 a.m. = $5
Amount to pay from 12.29 a.m. to 3.45 p.m. = 7 x 1.50 = $10.50
Total amount that Ivan paid
= 5 + 10.50
= $15.50
Answer(s): $15.50
