PSLE The table shows the charges for bicycle rental. John rented a bicycle from 11.15 a.m. to 5.32 p.m.. How much did he pay?
Bicycle rental |
Charges |
First hour |
$2 |
Additional 12 hour or part thereof |
$1.40 |
From 11.15 a.m. to 12.15 p.m. = 1 h
From 12.15 p.m. to 5.32 p.m. = 5 h 17 min = 317 min
Sets of additional
12 hour
= 317 ÷ 30
= 10 r 17
Total number of sets of additional
12 hour and part thereof to pay for
= 10 + 1
= 11
Amount to pay from 11.15 a.m. to 12.15 a.m. = $2
Amount to pay from 12.15 a.m. to 5.32 p.m. = 11 x 1.40 = $15.40
Total amount that John paid
= 2 + 15.40
= $17.40
Answer(s): $17.40
