Question

The table below shows the rates for renting a bicycle at a shop Daniel rented a bicycle at 8.20 a.m. What is the latest time Daniel must return his bicycle if he only has \$20 to spend on rental fees?

1. 10.20 a.m.
2. 10.50 a.m.
3. 11.20 a.m.
4. 11.50 a.m.

Answer: 2

Worked solution

\text{Budget} = \$20
\text{First hour} = \$6
\text{Remaining} = \$20 - \$6 = \$14
\text{Additional 30-min blocks} = \$14 \div \$4 = 3 \text{ full blocks (= 90 min)}
\text{Total time} = 1 \text{ h} + 90 \text{ min} = 2 \text{ h } 30 \text{ min}
\text{Latest return} = 8.20 \text{ a.m.} + 2 \text{ h } 30 \text{ min} = 10.50 \text{ a.m.}
