PSLE The graph shows the fare a taxi company charges for the first 18 kilometres.
- How much is the taxi fare for the third kilometre?
- Zane paid $14 for his taxi ride. What was the distance he travelled?
- How much does the taxi company charge for every kilometre after 12 km of travel?

Taxi fare for the third kilometre = $3
(b)
Distance that Zane travelled for his taxi ride at $14 = 16 km
(c)
Distance travelled from 12 km to 18 km
