Sabrina paid $16 for renting a kayak starting from 16 00. What would be the latest time she must return the kayak to the shop?
Amount that Sabrina paid for all the additional
12 hours
= 16 - 5.50
= $10.50
Number of sets of additional
12 hours
= 10.50 ÷ 1.50
= 7
Total additional time that Sabrina paid for
= 7 x
12= 3
12 h
Total time that Sabrina paid for
= 1 + 3
12= 4
12 h
4
12 h after 16 00 = 20 30
Latest time that Sabrina must return the kayak to the shop: 20 30
Answer(s): 20 30
