Linda paid $42 for renting a kayak starting from 17 00. What would be the latest time she must return the kayak to the shop?
Amount that Linda paid for all the additional
12 hours
= 42 - 10.50
= $31.50
Number of sets of additional
12 hours
= 31.50 ÷ 4.50
= 7
Total additional time that Linda paid for
= 7 x
12= 3
12 h
Total time that Linda paid for
= 1 + 3
12= 4
12 h

12 h after 17 00 = 21 30
Latest time that Linda must return the kayak to the shop: 21 30
