Eva 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 5.6 km to reach Eva's home. How much was her taxi fare?

Taxi Fare
First km	$2.60
Every additional 300 m or less	$0.41
Every 45 seconds waiting or less	$0.40

Amount to pay for the first 1 km = $2.60

Remaining distance to pay for
= 5.6 - 1
= 4.6 km

1 km = 1000 m
4.6 km = 4.6 x 1000 = 4600 m

Sets of additional 300 m
= 4600 ÷ 300
= 15 r 100

Sets of additional 300 m or less
= 15 + 1
= 16

Amount to pay for remaining 4.6 km
= 16 x 0.41
= $6.56

1 min = 60 s
3 min = 3 x 60 = 180 s

Sets of 45 seconds of waiting
= 180 ÷ 45
= 4 r 0

Amount to pay for sets of 45 seconds of waiting or less
= 4 x 0.40
= $1.60

Eva's taxi fare
= 2.60 + 6.56 + 1.60
= $10.76

Answer(s): $10.76
