PSLE The graph shows the fare a taxi company charges for the first 16 kilometres.
- How much is the taxi fare for the first kilometre?
- Zane paid $10 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 first kilometre = $4
(b)
Distance that Zane travelled for his taxi ride at $10 = 8 km
(c)
Distance travelled from 8 km to 16 km
= 16 - 8
= 8 km
Taxi fare paid to travel from 8 km to 16 km
= 26 - 10
= $16
Amount that the taxi company charge for every kilometer after 8 km of travel
= 16 ÷ 8
= $2
Answer(s): (a) $4; (b) 8 km; (c) $2
