PSLE The table shows the charges for skateboard rental. Tim rented a skateboard from 11.27 a.m. to 3.25 p.m.. How much did he pay?
Skateboard rental |
Charges |
First hour |
$4 |
Additional 12 hour or part thereof |
$1.70 |
From 11.27 a.m. to 12.27 p.m. = 1 h
From 12.27 p.m. to 3.25 p.m. = 2 h 58 min = 178 min
Sets of additional
12 hour
= 178 ÷ 30
= 5 r 28
Total number of sets of additional
12 hour and part thereof to pay for
= 5 + 1
= 6
Amount to pay from 11.27 a.m. to 12.27 a.m. = $4
Amount to pay from 12.27 a.m. to 3.25 p.m. = 6 x 1.70 = $10.20
Total amount that Tim paid
= 4 + 10.20
= $14.20
Answer(s): $14.20
