Nora paid $22.50 for renting a canoe starting from 17 00. What would be the latest time she must return the canoe to the shop?
Amount that Nora paid for all the additional
12 hours
= 22.50 - 11.50
= $11
Number of sets of additional
12 hours
= 11 ÷ 5.50
= 2
Total additional time that Nora paid for
= 2 x
12= 1 h
Total time that Nora paid for
= 1 + 1
= 2 h
2 h after 17 00 = 19 00
Latest time that Nora must return the canoe to the shop: 19 00
Answer(s): 19 00
