PSLE The table shows the charges for scooter rental. Cody rented a scooter from 11.30 a.m. to 4.46 p.m.. How much did he pay?
Scooter rental |
Charges |
First hour |
$4 |
Additional 12 hour or part thereof |
$1.80 |
From 11.30 a.m. to 12.30 p.m. = 1 h
From 12.30 p.m. to 4.46 p.m. = 4 h 16 min = 256 min
Sets of additional
12 hour
= 256 ÷ 30
= 8 r 16
Total number of sets of additional
12 hour and part thereof to pay for
= 8 + 1
= 9
Amount to pay from 11.30 a.m. to 12.30 a.m. = $4
Amount to pay from 12.30 a.m. to 4.46 p.m. = 9 x 1.80 = $16.20
Total amount that Cody paid
= 4 + 16.20
= $20.20
Answer(s): $20.20
