How much was Albert's taxi fare?
1 km = 1000 m
7.4 km = 7.4 x 1000 = 7400 m
Distance charged as additional 350 m or less
= 7400 - 1000
= 6400 m
Number of sets of 350 m
= 6400 ÷ 350
= 18 r 100
Number of sets of 350 m to pay for
= 18 + 1
= 19
Albert's taxi fare
= 3.10 + (19 x 0.66)
= 3.10 + 12.54
= $15.64
Answer(s): $15.64
