PSLE The table shows the charges for scooter rental. Xavier rented a scooter from 11.29 a.m. to 4.34 p.m.. How much did he pay?
Scooter rental |
Charges |
First hour |
$2 |
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 4.34 p.m. = 4 h 5 min = 245 min
Sets of additional
12 hour
= 245 ÷ 30
= 8 r 5
Total number of sets of additional
12 hour and part thereof to pay for
= 8 + 1
= 9
Amount to pay from 11.29 a.m. to 12.29 a.m. = $2
Amount to pay from 12.29 a.m. to 4.34 p.m. = 9 x 1.50 = $13.50
Total amount that Xavier paid
= 2 + 13.50
= $15.50
Answer(s): $15.50
