Xuan paid $6.50 for renting a snowboard starting from 12 00. What would be the latest time she must return the snowboard to the shop?
Amount that Xuan paid for all the additional
12 hours
= 6.50 - 3.50
= $3
Number of sets of additional
12 hours
= 3 ÷ 1.50
= 2
Total additional time that Xuan paid for
= 2 x
12= 1 h
Total time that Xuan paid for
= 1 + 1
= 2 h
2 h after 12 00 = 14 00
Latest time that Xuan must return the snowboard to the shop: 14 00
Answer(s): 14 00
