Hazel paid $20.50 for renting a snowboard starting from 16 00. What would be the latest time she must return the snowboard to the shop?
Amount that Hazel paid for all the additional
12 hours
= 20.50 - 5.50
= $15
Number of sets of additional
12 hours
= 15 ÷ 2.50
= 6
Total additional time that Hazel paid for
= 6 x
12= 3 h
Total time that Hazel paid for
= 1 + 3
= 4 h
4 h after 16 00 = 20 00
Latest time that Hazel must return the snowboard to the shop: 20 00
Answer(s): 20 00
