Usha paid $34 for renting a scooter starting from 14 00. What would be the latest time she must return the scooter to the shop?
Amount that Usha paid for all the additional
12 hours
= 34 - 9.50
= $24.50
Number of sets of additional
12 hours
= 24.50 ÷ 3.50
= 7
Total additional time that Usha paid for
= 7 x
12= 3
12 h
Total time that Usha paid for
= 1 + 3
12= 4

12 h after 14 00 = 18 30
Latest time that Usha must return the scooter to the shop: 18 30
