Victoria paid $30 for renting a kayak starting from 16 00. What would be the latest time she must return the kayak to the shop?
Amount that Victoria paid for all the additional
12 hours
= 30 - 13.50
= $16.50
Number of sets of additional
12 hours
= 16.50 ÷ 5.50
= 3
Total additional time that Victoria paid for
= 3 x
12= 1
12 h
Total time that Victoria paid for
= 1 + 1
12= 2
