Gillian paid $45.50 for renting a skateboard starting from 12 00. What would be the latest time she must return the skateboard to the shop?
Amount that Gillian paid for all the additional
12 hours
= 45.50 - 12.50
= $33
Number of sets of additional
12 hours
= 33 ÷ 5.50
= 6
Total additional time that Gillian paid for
= 6 x
12= 3 h
Total time that Gillian paid for
= 1 + 3
= 4 h
4 h after 12 00 = 16 00
Latest time that Gillian must return the skateboard to the shop: 16 00
Answer(s): 16 00
