Vanessa paid $10 for renting a pair of rollerblades starting from 12 00. What would be the latest time she must return the pair of rollerblades to the shop?
Amount that Vanessa paid for all the additional
12 hours
= 10 - 5.50
= $4.50
Number of sets of additional
12 hours
= 4.50 ÷ 1.50
= 3
Total additional time that Vanessa paid for
= 3 x
12= 1
12 h
Total time that Vanessa paid for
= 1 + 1
12= 2
