PSLE The table shows the charges for scooter rental. Ryan rented a scooter from 11.22 a.m. to 2.41 p.m.. How much did he pay?
Scooter rental |
Charges |
First hour |
$5 |
Additional 12 hour or part thereof |
$1.50 |
From 11.22 a.m. to 12.22 p.m. = 1 h
From 12.22 p.m. to 2.41 p.m. = 2 h 19 min = 139 min
Sets of additional
12 hour
= 139 ÷ 30
= 4 r 19
Total number of sets of additional
12 hour and part thereof to pay for
= 4 + 1
= 5
Amount to pay from 11.22 a.m. to 12.22 a.m. = $5
Amount to pay from 12.22 a.m. to 2.41 p.m. = 5 x 1.50 = $7.50
Total amount that Ryan paid
= 5 + 7.50
= $12.50
Answer(s): $12.50
