PSLE The table shows the charges for scooter rental. Fabian rented a scooter from 11.33 a.m. to 5.34 p.m.. How much did he pay?
Scooter rental |
Charges |
First hour |
$4 |
Additional 12 hour or part thereof |
$1.40 |
From 11.33 a.m. to 12.33 p.m. = 1 h
From 12.33 p.m. to 5.34 p.m. = 5 h 1 min = 301 min
Sets of additional
12 hour
= 301 ÷ 30
= 10 r 1
Total number of sets of additional
12 hour and part thereof to pay for
= 10 + 1
= 11
Amount to pay from 11.33 a.m. to 12.33 a.m. = $4
Amount to pay from 12.33 a.m. to 5.34 p.m. = 11 x 1.40 = $15.40
Total amount that Fabian paid
= 4 + 15.40
= $19.40
Answer(s): $19.40
