Winnie paid $36.50 for renting a scooter starting from 15 00. What would be the latest time she must return the scooter to the shop?
Amount that Winnie paid for all the additional
12 hours
= 36.50 - 9.50
= $27
Number of sets of additional
12 hours
= 27 ÷ 4.50
= 6
Total additional time that Winnie paid for
= 6 x
12= 3 h
Total time that Winnie paid for
= 1 + 3
= 4 h
4 h after 15 00 = 19 00
Latest time that Winnie must return the scooter to the shop: 19 00
Answer(s): 19 00
