Opal paid $11 for renting a bicycle starting from 13 00. What would be the latest time she must return the bicycle to the shop?
Amount that Opal paid for all the additional
12 hours
= 11 - 3.50
= $7.50
Number of sets of additional
12 hours
= 7.50 ÷ 1.50
= 5
Total additional time that Opal paid for
= 5 x
12= 2
12 h
Total time that Opal paid for
= 1 + 2
12= 3
12 h
3
12 h after 13 00 = 16 30
Latest time that Opal must return the bicycle to the shop: 16 30
Answer(s): 16 30
