PSLE The table shows the charges for skateboard rental. Elijah rented a skateboard from 11.16 a.m. to 5.24 p.m.. How much did he pay?
Skateboard rental |
Charges |
First hour |
$2 |
Additional 12 hour or part thereof |
$1.60 |
From 11.16 a.m. to 12.16 p.m. = 1 h
From 12.16 p.m. to 5.24 p.m. = 5 h 8 min = 308 min
Sets of additional
12 hour
= 308 ÷ 30
= 10 r 8
Total number of sets of additional
12 hour and part thereof to pay for
= 10 + 1
= 11
Amount to pay from 11.16 a.m. to 12.16 a.m. = $2
Amount to pay from 12.16 a.m. to 5.24 p.m. = 11 x 1.60 = $17.60
Total amount that Elijah paid
= 2 + 17.60
= $19.60
Answer(s): $19.60
