PSLE The table shows the charges for skateboard rental. Wesley rented a skateboard from 11.17 a.m. to 4.37 p.m.. How much did he pay?
Skateboard rental |
Charges |
First hour |
$3 |
Additional 12 hour or part thereof |
$1.70 |
From 11.17 a.m. to 12.17 p.m. = 1 h
From 12.17 p.m. to 4.37 p.m. = 4 h 20 min = 260 min
Sets of additional
12 hour
= 260 ÷ 30
= 8 r 20
Total number of sets of additional
12 hour and part thereof to pay for
= 8 + 1
= 9
Amount to pay from 11.17 a.m. to 12.17 a.m. = $3
Amount to pay from 12.17 a.m. to 4.37 p.m. = 9 x 1.70 = $15.30
Total amount that Wesley paid
= 3 + 15.30
= $18.30
Answer(s): $18.30
