Kimberly paid $46.50 for renting a snowboard starting from 17 00. What would be the latest time she must return the snowboard to the shop?
Amount that Kimberly paid for all the additional
12 hours
= 46.50 - 10.50
= $36
Number of sets of additional
12 hours
= 36 ÷ 4.50
= 8
Total additional time that Kimberly paid for
= 8 x
12= 4 h
Total time that Kimberly paid for
= 1 + 4
= 5 h
5 h after 17 00 = 22 00
Latest time that Kimberly must return the snowboard to the shop: 22 00
Answer(s): 22 00
