Computer rental |
Charges |
First hour |
$3 |
Additional 12 hour or part thereof |
$1.10 |
From 11.49 a.m. to 12.49 p.m. = 1 h
From 12.49 p.m. to 4.22 p.m. = 3 h 33 min = 213 min
Sets of additional
12 hour
= 213 ÷ 30
= 7 r 3
Total number of sets of additional
12 hour and part thereof to pay for
= 7 + 1
= 8
Amount to pay from 11.49 a.m. to 12.49 a.m. = $3
Amount to pay from 12.49 a.m. to 4.22 p.m. = 8 x 1.10 = $8.80
Total amount that Cody paid
= 3 + 8.80
= $11.80
Answer(s): $11.80
