Question

2. A computer shop charges P20.00 per hour (or a fraction of an hour) for the first

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) For 40 minutes the charge is P20.00

(b) For 3 hours the charge is P30.00

(c) For 150 minutes the charge is P30.00

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The amount the computer shop charges for the first two hours = P20.00

The amount the computer shop charges for a fraction of an hour = P20.00

The amount the computer shop charges for each extra hour = P10.00

Therefore, the amount the computer shop will charge for each time, is given as follows;

(a) For 40 minutes, we have;

The duration of 40 minutes is less than two hours, therefore, the amount the computer shop will charge = P20.00

(b) For a duration of 3 hours, the amount the computer shop will charge is given by the following relation

The amount charged for the first two hours = P20.00

The amount charged for the next extra hour to make 3 hours = P10.00

The total amount charged for the 3 hours = P20.00 + P10.00 = P30.00

(c) For a duration of 150 minutes, we have;

150 minutes =  2 hours 30 minutes

Therefore, the amount charged will be equivalent to the amount charged for 3 hours or P20.00 + P10.00 = P30.00.
