How much was Fabian's taxi fare?
1 km = 1000 m
6.9 km = 6.9 x 1000 = 6900 m
Distance charged as additional 350 m or less
= 6900 - 1000
= 5900 m
Number of sets of 350 m
= 5900 ÷ 350
= 16 r 300
Number of sets of 350 m to pay for
= 16 + 1
= 17
Fabian's taxi fare
= 4.30 + (17 x 0.62)
= 4.30 + 10.54
= $14.84
Answer(s): $14.84
