PSLE The table shows the charges for skateboard rental. Albert rented a skateboard from 11.43 a.m. to 2.32 p.m.. How much did he pay?
Skateboard rental |
Charges |
First hour |
$4 |
Additional 12 hour or part thereof |
$1.60 |
From 11.43 a.m. to 12.43 p.m. = 1 h
From 12.43 p.m. to 2.32 p.m. = 1 h 49 min = 109 min
Sets of additional
12 hour
= 109 ÷ 30
= 3 r 19
Total number of sets of additional
12 hour and part thereof to pay for
= 3 + 1
= 4
Amount to pay from 11.43 a.m. to 12.43 a.m. = $4
Amount to pay from 12.43 a.m. to 2.32 p.m. = 4 x 1.60 = $6.40
Total amount that Albert paid
= 4 + 6.40
= $10.40
Answer(s): $10.40
