PSLE The table shows the charges for bicycle rental. Ian rented a bicycle from 11.33 a.m. to 2.29 p.m.. How much did he pay?
Bicycle rental |
Charges |
First hour |
$3 |
Additional 12 hour or part thereof |
$1.20 |
From 11.33 a.m. to 12.33 p.m. = 1 h
From 12.33 p.m. to 2.29 p.m. = 1 h 56 min = 116 min
Sets of additional
12 hour
= 116 ÷ 30
= 3 r 26
Total number of sets of additional
12 hour and part thereof to pay for
= 3 + 1
= 4
Amount to pay from 11.33 a.m. to 12.33 a.m. = $3
Amount to pay from 12.33 a.m. to 2.29 p.m. = 4 x 1.20 = $4.80
Total amount that Ian paid
= 3 + 4.80
= $7.80
Answer(s): $7.80
