Elyse paid $9 for renting a bicycle starting from 13 00. What would be the latest time she must return the bicycle to the shop?
Amount that Elyse paid for all the additional
12 hours
= 9 - 4.50
= $4.50
Number of sets of additional
12 hours
= 4.50 ÷ 1.50
= 3
Total additional time that Elyse paid for
= 3 x
12= 1
12 h
Total time that Elyse paid for
= 1 + 1
12= 2
