Abi paid $18 for renting a kayak starting from 15 00. What would be the latest time she must return the kayak to the shop?
Amount that Abi paid for all the additional
12 hours
= 18 - 5.50
= $12.50
Number of sets of additional
12 hours
= 12.50 ÷ 2.50
= 5
Total additional time that Abi paid for
= 5 x
12= 2
12 h
Total time that Abi paid for
= 1 + 2
12= 3

12 h after 15 00 = 18 30
Latest time that Abi must return the kayak to the shop: 18 30
Answer(s): 18 30
