PSLE The table shows the charges for scooter rental. Perry rented a scooter from 11.13 a.m. to 3.15 p.m.. How much did he pay?
Scooter rental |
Charges |
First hour |
$3 |
Additional 12 hour or part thereof |
$1.40 |
From 11.13 a.m. to 12.13 p.m. = 1 h
From 12.13 p.m. to 3.15 p.m. = 3 h 2 min = 182 min
Sets of additional
12 hour
= 182 ÷ 30
= 6 r 2
Total number of sets of additional
12 hour and part thereof to pay for
= 6 + 1
= 7
Amount to pay from 11.13 a.m. to 12.13 a.m. = $3
Amount to pay from 12.13 a.m. to 3.15 p.m. = 7 x 1.40 = $9.80
Total amount that Perry paid
= 3 + 9.80
= $12.80
Answer(s): $12.80
