PSLE The table shows the charges for bicycle rental. Michael rented a bicycle from 11.46 a.m. to 3.48 p.m.. How much did he pay?
Bicycle rental |
Charges |
First hour |
$3 |
Additional 12 hour or part thereof |
$1.30 |
From 11.46 a.m. to 12.46 p.m. = 1 h
From 12.46 p.m. to 3.48 p.m. = 3 h 2 min = 182 min
Sets of additional
12 hour
= 182 ÷ 30
= 6 r 2
Total number of sets of additional
12 hour and part thereof to pay for
= 6 + 1
= 7
Amount to pay from 11.46 a.m. to 12.46 a.m. = $3
Amount to pay from 12.46 a.m. to 3.48 p.m. = 7 x 1.30 = $9.10
Total amount that Michael paid
= 3 + 9.10
= $12.10
Answer(s): $12.10
