PSLE The table shows the charges for bicycle rental. Archie rented a bicycle from 11.33 a.m. to 2.28 p.m.. How much did he pay?
Bicycle rental |
Charges |
First hour |
$3 |
Additional 12 hour or part thereof |
$1.60 |
From 11.33 a.m. to 12.33 p.m. = 1 h
From 12.33 p.m. to 2.28 p.m. = 1 h 55 min = 115 min
Sets of additional
12 hour
= 115 ÷ 30
= 3 r 25
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 2.28 p.m. = 4 x 1.60 = $6.40
Total amount that Archie paid
= 3 + 6.40
= $9.40
Answer(s): $9.40
