Fanny paid $24 for renting a skateboard starting from 15 00. What would be the latest time she must return the skateboard to the shop?
Amount that Fanny paid for all the additional
12 hours
= 24 - 10.50
= $13.50
Number of sets of additional
12 hours
= 13.50 ÷ 4.50
= 3
Total additional time that Fanny paid for
= 3 x
12= 1
12 h
Total time that Fanny paid for
= 1 + 1
12= 2
