PSLE The table shows the charges for skateboard rental. Tommy rented a skateboard from 11.23 a.m. to 3.24 p.m.. How much did he pay?
Skateboard rental |
Charges |
First hour |
$2 |
Additional 12 hour or part thereof |
$1.50 |
From 11.23 a.m. to 12.23 p.m. = 1 h
From 12.23 p.m. to 3.24 p.m. = 3 h 1 min = 181 min
Sets of additional
12 hour
= 181 ÷ 30
= 6 r 1
Total number of sets of additional
12 hour and part thereof to pay for
= 6 + 1
= 7
Amount to pay from 11.23 a.m. to 12.23 a.m. = $2
Amount to pay from 12.23 a.m. to 3.24 p.m. = 7 x 1.50 = $10.50
Total amount that Tommy paid
= 2 + 10.50
= $12.50
Answer(s): $12.50
