PSLE The table shows the charges for skateboard rental. Jeremy rented a skateboard from 11.17 a.m. to 3.30 p.m.. How much did he pay?
Skateboard rental |
Charges |
First hour |
$2 |
Additional 12 hour or part thereof |
$1.30 |
From 11.17 a.m. to 12.17 p.m. = 1 h
From 12.17 p.m. to 3.30 p.m. = 3 h 13 min = 193 min
Sets of additional
12 hour
= 193 ÷ 30
= 6 r 13
Total number of sets of additional
12 hour and part thereof to pay for
= 6 + 1
= 7
Amount to pay from 11.17 a.m. to 12.17 a.m. = $2
Amount to pay from 12.17 a.m. to 3.30 p.m. = 7 x 1.30 = $9.10
Total amount that Jeremy paid
= 2 + 9.10
= $11.10
Answer(s): $11.10
