Nora paid $13 for renting a scooter starting from 14 00. What would be the latest time she must return the scooter to the shop?
Amount that Nora paid for all the additional
12 hours
= 13 - 5.50
= $7.50
Number of sets of additional
12 hours
= 7.50 ÷ 1.50
= 5
Total additional time that Nora paid for
= 5 x
12= 2
12 h
Total time that Nora paid for
= 1 + 2
12= 3
12 h
3
12 h after 14 00 = 17 30
Latest time that Nora must return the scooter to the shop: 17 30
Answer(s): 17 30
