PSLE The table shows the charges for skateboard rental. Pierre rented a skateboard from 11.14 a.m. to 4.22 p.m.. How much did he pay?
Skateboard rental |
Charges |
First hour |
$4 |
Additional 12 hour or part thereof |
$1.60 |
From 11.14 a.m. to 12.14 p.m. = 1 h
From 12.14 p.m. to 4.22 p.m. = 4 h 8 min = 248 min
Sets of additional
12 hour
= 248 ÷ 30
= 8 r 8
Total number of sets of additional
12 hour and part thereof to pay for
= 8 + 1
= 9
Amount to pay from 11.14 a.m. to 12.14 a.m. = $4
Amount to pay from 12.14 a.m. to 4.22 p.m. = 9 x 1.60 = $14.40
Total amount that Pierre paid
= 4 + 14.40
= $18.40
Answer(s): $18.40
