Marion paid $20 for renting a scooter starting from 13 00. What would be the latest time she must return the scooter to the shop?
Amount that Marion paid for all the additional
12 hours
= 20 - 7.50
= $12.50
Number of sets of additional
12 hours
= 12.50 ÷ 2.50
= 5
Total additional time that Marion paid for
= 5 x
12= 2
12 h
Total time that Marion paid for
= 1 + 2
12= 3

12 h after 13 00 = 16 30
Latest time that Marion must return the scooter to the shop: 16 30
