Jaslyn paid $38.50 for renting a scooter starting from 17 00. What would be the latest time she must return the scooter to the shop?
Amount that Jaslyn paid for all the additional
12 hours
= 38.50 - 11.50
= $27
Number of sets of additional
12 hours
= 27 ÷ 4.50
= 6
Total additional time that Jaslyn paid for
= 6 x
12= 3 h
Total time that Jaslyn paid for
= 1 + 3
= 4 h
4 h after 17 00 = 21 00
Latest time that Jaslyn must return the scooter to the shop: 21 00
Answer(s): 21 00
