PSLE The graph shows the fare a taxi company charges for the first 16 kilometres.
- How much is the taxi fare for the fourth kilometre?
- Zane paid $7 for his taxi ride. What was the distance he travelled?
- How much does the taxi company charge for every kilometre after 8 km of travel?
(a)
Taxi fare for the fourth kilometre = $1
(b)
Distance that Zane travelled for his taxi ride at $7 = 8 km
(c)
Distance travelled from 8 km to 16 km

= 8 km
Taxi fare paid to travel from 8 km to 16 km

= $16
Amount that the taxi company charge for every kilometer after 8 km of travel
= 16 ÷ 8
= $2
Answer(s): (a) $1; (b) 8 km; (c) $2
