Every additional 250 m or less |
$0.66 |
How much was Julian's taxi fare?
1 km = 1000 m
4.1 km = 4.1 x 1000 = 4100 m
Distance charged as additional 250 m or less
= 4100 - 1000
= 3100 m
Number of sets of 250 m
= 3100 ÷ 250
= 12 r 100
Number of sets of 250 m to pay for
= 12 + 1
= 13
Julian's taxi fare
= 2.80 + (13 x 0.66)
= 2.80 + 8.58
= $11.38
Answer(s): $11.38
