Gabby paid $23.50 for renting a kayak starting from 15 00. What would be the latest time she must return the kayak to the shop?
Amount that Gabby paid for all the additional
12 hours
= 23.50 - 12.50
= $11
Number of sets of additional
12 hours
= 11 ÷ 5.50
= 2
Total additional time that Gabby paid for
= 2 x
12= 1 h
Total time that Gabby paid for
= 1 + 1
= 2 h
2 h after 15 00 = 17 00
Latest time that Gabby must return the kayak to the shop: 17 00
Answer(s): 17 00
