Answer:
(a) The charge for 40 minutes is P20.00
(b) For 3 hours, the fee is P30.00
(c) For 150 minutes, the charge is P30.00
Step-by-step explanation:
The parameters are as follows;
The rate charged by the computer shop for the first two hours = P20.00
The rate for any portion of an hour = P20.00
For each additional hour, the charge is P10.00
Thus, the fees for each usage period are as follows;
(a) For 40 minutes;
The time of 40 minutes is less than two hours, so the cost is = P20.00
(b) When using the computer for 3 hours, the total charge is:
Cost for the initial two hours = P20.00
Cost for the additional hour to reach 3 hours = P10.00
Therefore, the total for 3 hours = P20.00 + P10.00 = P30.00
(c) For 150 minutes;
150 minutes equals 2 hours and 30 minutes
Hence, the total fee is the same as for 3 hours, which is P20.00 + P10.00 = P30.00.
