PSLE The table shows the charges for bicycle rental. Henry rented a bicycle from 11.37 a.m. to 3.23 p.m.. How much did he pay?
Bicycle rental |
Charges |
First hour |
$3 |
Additional 12 hour or part thereof |
$1.30 |
From 11.37 a.m. to 12.37 p.m. = 1 h
From 12.37 p.m. to 3.23 p.m. = 2 h 46 min = 166 min
Sets of additional
12 hour
= 166 ÷ 30
= 5 r 16
Total number of sets of additional
12 hour and part thereof to pay for
= 5 + 1
= 6
Amount to pay from 11.37 a.m. to 12.37 a.m. = $3
Amount to pay from 12.37 a.m. to 3.23 p.m. = 6 x 1.30 = $7.80
Total amount that Henry paid
= 3 + 7.80
= $10.80
Answer(s): $10.80
