Solve this problem: 80% of the 40000 fans in attendance will take the elevated train home. Find the exact time at which the last fan will have boarded their train. Fans start heading towards the train at 4pm at a rate of 100 per minute for one hour. At 5pm the rate rises to 175 per minute. At 6pm the rate is 135 per minute. To get on a train, fans must first walk into the station and go through the turnstiles. With no additional attendants, turnstiles process 60 people per minute. Each additional attendant increases this rate by 40 per minute.
Once on the platform, trains pick up passengers at an average rate of 120 per minute since they carry approximately 1200 people each and run every 10 minutes.
Assume that only baseball fans board at Addison from 4PM onward and that no fan is deterred by the long queues. At 5pm they add 2 additional attendants.
Your answer must be in the 24-hour format (for example, 18.00 and not 6pm). Round your final answer to 2 decimals. Do not transform decimals in minutes (for example, 18.75 and not 18:45).
