Diana paid $24.50 for renting a skateboard starting from 17 00. What would be the latest time she must return the skateboard to the shop?
Amount that Diana paid for all the additional
12 hours
= 24.50 - 13.50
= $11
Number of sets of additional
12 hours
= 11 ÷ 5.50
= 2
Total additional time that Diana paid for
= 2 x
12= 1 h
Total time that Diana paid for
= 1 + 1
= 2 h
2 h after 17 00 = 19 00
Latest time that Diana must return the skateboard to the shop: 19 00
Answer(s): 19 00
