Xuan took a taxi from her office to her home. Her taxi fare was based on the charges shown. The taxi stopped once at a traffic light for 3 minutes and travelled a total distance of 8.7 km to reach Xuan's home. How much was her taxi fare?

Taxi Fare
First km	$2.60
Every additional 300 m or less	$0.36
Every 30 seconds waiting or less	$0.40

Amount to pay for the first 1 km = $2.60

Remaining distance to pay for
= 8.7 - 1
= 7.7 km

1 km = 1000 m
7.7 km = 7.7 x 1000 = 7700 m

Sets of additional 300 m
= 7700 ÷ 300
= 25 r 200

Sets of additional 300 m or less
= 25 + 1
= 26

Amount to pay for remaining 7.7 km
= 26 x 0.36
= $9.36

1 min = 60 s
3 min = 3 x 60 = 180 s

Sets of 30 seconds of waiting
= 180 ÷ 30
= 6 r 0

Amount to pay for sets of 30 seconds of waiting or less
= 6 x 0.40
= $2.40

Xuan's taxi fare
= 2.60 + 9.36 + 2.40
= $14.36

Answer(s): $14.36
