Jane paid $24.50 for renting a snowboard starting from 16 00. What would be the latest time she must return the snowboard to the shop?
Amount that Jane 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 Jane paid for
= 2 x
12= 1 h
Total time that Jane paid for
= 1 + 1
= 2 h
2 h after 16 00 = 18 00
Latest time that Jane must return the snowboard to the shop: 18 00
Answer(s): 18 00
