Vanessa paid $33 for renting a paddle boat starting from 13 00. What would be the latest time she must return the paddle boat to the shop?
Amount that Vanessa paid for all the additional
12 hours
= 33 - 10.50
= $22.50
Number of sets of additional
12 hours
= 22.50 ÷ 4.50
= 5
Total additional time that Vanessa paid for
= 5 x
12= 2
12 h
Total time that Vanessa paid for
= 1 + 2
12= 3
