Anna paid $51 for renting a canoe starting from 13 00. What would be the latest time she must return the canoe to the shop?
Amount that Anna paid for all the additional
12 hours
= 51 - 12.50
= $38.50
Number of sets of additional
12 hours
= 38.50 ÷ 5.50
= 7
Total additional time that Anna paid for
= 7 x
12= 3
12 h
Total time that Anna paid for
= 1 + 3
12= 4
12 h

12 h after 13 00 = 17 30
Latest time that Anna must return the canoe to the shop: 17 30
Answer(s): 17 30
