Fiona paid $26 for renting a canoe starting from 13 00. What would be the latest time she must return the canoe to the shop?
Amount that Fiona paid for all the additional
12 hours
= 26 - 8.50
= $17.50
Number of sets of additional
12 hours
= 17.50 ÷ 3.50
= 5
Total additional time that Fiona paid for
= 5 x
12= 2
12 h
Total time that Fiona paid for
= 1 + 2
12= 3

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