Gabby paid $14 for renting a snowboard starting from 15 00. What would be the latest time she must return the snowboard to the shop?
Amount that Gabby paid for all the additional
12 hours
= 14 - 6.50
= $7.50
Number of sets of additional
12 hours
= 7.50 ÷ 2.50
= 3
Total additional time that Gabby paid for
= 3 x
12= 1
12 h
Total time that Gabby paid for
= 1 + 1
12= 2
