PSLE The table shows the charges for scooter rental. Julian rented a scooter from 11.33 a.m. to 3.38 p.m.. How much did he pay?
Scooter rental |
Charges |
First hour |
$4 |
Additional 12 hour or part thereof |
$1.30 |
From 11.33 a.m. to 12.33 p.m. = 1 h
From 12.33 p.m. to 3.38 p.m. = 3 h 5 min = 185 min
Sets of additional
12 hour
= 185 ÷ 30
= 6 r 5
Total number of sets of additional
12 hour and part thereof to pay for
= 6 + 1
= 7
Amount to pay from 11.33 a.m. to 12.33 a.m. = $4
Amount to pay from 12.33 a.m. to 3.38 p.m. = 7 x 1.30 = $9.10
Total amount that Julian paid
= 4 + 9.10
= $13.10
Answer(s): $13.10
