Jaslyn paid $34 for renting a kayak starting from 15 00. What would be the latest time she must return the kayak to the shop?
Amount that Jaslyn paid for all the additional
12 hours
= 34 - 9.50
= $24.50
Number of sets of additional
12 hours
= 24.50 ÷ 3.50
= 7
Total additional time that Jaslyn paid for
= 7 x
12= 3
12 h
Total time that Jaslyn paid for
= 1 + 3
12= 4
12 h

12 h after 15 00 = 19 30
Latest time that Jaslyn must return the kayak to the shop: 19 30
Answer(s): 19 30
