PSLE The table shows the charges for scooter rental. Michael rented a scooter from 11.45 a.m. to 4.43 p.m.. How much did he pay?
Scooter rental |
Charges |
First hour |
$5 |
Additional 12 hour or part thereof |
$1.10 |
From 11.45 a.m. to 12.45 p.m. = 1 h
From 12.45 p.m. to 4.43 p.m. = 3 h 58 min = 238 min
Sets of additional
12 hour
= 238 ÷ 30
= 7 r 28
Total number of sets of additional
12 hour and part thereof to pay for
= 7 + 1
= 8
Amount to pay from 11.45 a.m. to 12.45 a.m. = $5
Amount to pay from 12.45 a.m. to 4.43 p.m. = 8 x 1.10 = $8.80
Total amount that Michael paid
= 5 + 8.80
= $13.80
Answer(s): $13.80
