PSLE The table shows the charges for skateboard rental. Howard rented a skateboard from 11.15 a.m. to 3.17 p.m.. How much did he pay?
Skateboard rental |
Charges |
First hour |
$2 |
Additional 12 hour or part thereof |
$1.60 |
From 11.15 a.m. to 12.15 p.m. = 1 h
From 12.15 p.m. to 3.17 p.m. = 3 h 2 min = 182 min
Sets of additional
12 hour
= 182 ÷ 30
= 6 r 2
Total number of sets of additional
12 hour and part thereof to pay for
= 6 + 1
= 7
Amount to pay from 11.15 a.m. to 12.15 a.m. = $2
Amount to pay from 12.15 a.m. to 3.17 p.m. = 7 x 1.60 = $11.20
Total amount that Howard paid
= 2 + 11.20
= $13.20
Answer(s): $13.20
