PSLE The table shows the charges for bicycle rental. Warren rented a bicycle from 11.45 a.m. to 2.22 p.m.. How much did he pay?
Bicycle rental |
Charges |
First hour |
$3 |
Additional 12 hour or part thereof |
$1.30 |
From 11.45 a.m. to 12.45 p.m. = 1 h
From 12.45 p.m. to 2.22 p.m. = 1 h 37 min = 97 min
Sets of additional
12 hour
= 97 ÷ 30
= 3 r 7
Total number of sets of additional
12 hour and part thereof to pay for
= 3 + 1
= 4
Amount to pay from 11.45 a.m. to 12.45 a.m. = $3
Amount to pay from 12.45 a.m. to 2.22 p.m. = 4 x 1.30 = $5.20
Total amount that Warren paid
= 3 + 5.20
= $8.20
Answer(s): $8.20
