Emily paid $16 for renting a kayak starting from 14 00. What would be the latest time she must return the kayak to the shop?
Amount that Emily paid for all the additional
12 hours
= 16 - 5.50
= $10.50
Number of sets of additional
12 hours
= 10.50 ÷ 1.50
= 7
Total additional time that Emily paid for
= 7 x
12= 3
12 h
Total time that Emily paid for
= 1 + 3
12= 4
12 h
4
12 h after 14 00 = 18 30
Latest time that Emily must return the kayak to the shop: 18 30
Answer(s): 18 30
