PSLE The table shows the charges for scooter rental. Pierre rented a scooter from 11.40 a.m. to 2.37 p.m.. How much did he pay?
Scooter rental |
Charges |
First hour |
$4 |
Additional 12 hour or part thereof |
$1.60 |
From 11.40 a.m. to 12.40 p.m. = 1 h
From 12.40 p.m. to 2.37 p.m. = 1 h 57 min = 117 min
Sets of additional
12 hour
= 117 ÷ 30
= 3 r 27
Total number of sets of additional
12 hour and part thereof to pay for
= 3 + 1
= 4
Amount to pay from 11.40 a.m. to 12.40 a.m. = $4
Amount to pay from 12.40 a.m. to 2.37 p.m. = 4 x 1.60 = $6.40
Total amount that Pierre paid
= 4 + 6.40
= $10.40
Answer(s): $10.40
