How much was Gabriel's taxi fare?
1 km = 1000 m
4.3 km = 4.3 x 1000 = 4300 m
Distance charged as additional 200 m or less
= 4300 - 1000
= 3300 m
Number of sets of 200 m
= 3300 ÷ 200
= 16 r 100
Number of sets of 200 m to pay for
= 16 + 1
= 17
Gabriel's taxi fare
= 4.70 + (17 x 0.49)
= 4.70 + 8.33
= $13.03
Answer(s): $13.03
