PSLE The table shows the charges for scooter rental. Owen rented a scooter from 11.33 a.m. to 2.21 p.m.. How much did he pay?
Scooter rental |
Charges |
First hour |
$5 |
Additional 12 hour or part thereof |
$1.60 |
From 11.33 a.m. to 12.33 p.m. = 1 h
From 12.33 p.m. to 2.21 p.m. = 1 h 48 min = 108 min
Sets of additional
12 hour
= 108 ÷ 30
= 3 r 18
Total number of sets of additional
12 hour and part thereof to pay for
= 3 + 1
= 4
Amount to pay from 11.33 a.m. to 12.33 a.m. = $5
Amount to pay from 12.33 a.m. to 2.21 p.m. = 4 x 1.60 = $6.40
Total amount that Owen paid
= 5 + 6.40
= $11.40
Answer(s): $11.40
