Jean 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 2 minutes and travelled a total distance of 8.2 km to reach Jean's home. How much was her taxi fare?

Taxi Fare
First km	$3.40
Every additional 400 m or less	$0.25
Every 35 seconds waiting or less	$0.30

Amount to pay for the first 1 km = $3.40

Remaining distance to pay for
= 8.2 - 1
= 7.2 km

1 km = 1000 m
7.2 km = 7.2 x 1000 = 7200 m

Sets of additional 400 m
= 7200 ÷ 400
= 18 r 0

Amount to pay for remaining 7.2 km
= 18 x 0.25
= $4.50

1 min = 60 s
2 min = 2 x 60 = 120 s

Sets of 35 seconds of waiting
= 120 ÷ 35
= 3 r 15

Sets of 35 seconds of waiting or less
= 3 + 1
= 4

Amount to pay for sets of 35 seconds of waiting or less
= 4 x 0.30
= $1.20

Jean's taxi fare
= 3.40 + 4.50 + 1.20
= $9.10

Answer(s): $9.10
