How much was Gabriel's taxi fare?
1 km = 1000 m
4.8 km = 4.8 x 1000 = 4800 m
Distance charged as additional 300 m or less
= 4800 - 1000
= 3800 m
Number of sets of 300 m
= 3800 ÷ 300
= 12 r 200
Number of sets of 300 m to pay for
= 12 + 1
= 13
Gabriel's taxi fare
= 4.30 + (13 x 0.41)
= 4.30 + 5.33
= $9.63
Answer(s): $9.63
