Linda paid $28 for renting a snowboard starting from 15 00. What would be the latest time she must return the snowboard to the shop?
Amount that Linda paid for all the additional
12 hours
= 28 - 11.50
= $16.50
Number of sets of additional
12 hours
= 16.50 ÷ 5.50
= 3
Total additional time that Linda paid for
= 3 x
12= 1
12 h
Total time that Linda paid for
= 1 + 1
12= 2
