Erika paid $25 for renting a canoe starting from 14 00. What would be the latest time she must return the canoe to the shop?
Amount that Erika paid for all the additional
12 hours
= 25 - 11.50
= $13.50
Number of sets of additional
12 hours
= 13.50 ÷ 4.50
= 3
Total additional time that Erika paid for
= 3 x
12= 1
12 h
Total time that Erika paid for
= 1 + 1
12= 2

12 h after 14 00 = 16 30
Latest time that Erika must return the canoe to the shop: 16 30
