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

Taxi Fare
First km	$2.70
Every additional 300 m or less	$0.36
Every 35 seconds waiting or less	$0.20

Amount to pay for the first 1 km = $2.70

Remaining distance to pay for
= 7.6 - 1
= 6.6 km

1 km = 1000 m
6.6 km = 6.6 x 1000 = 6600 m

Sets of additional 300 m
= 6600 ÷ 300
= 22 r 0

Amount to pay for remaining 6.6 km
= 22 x 0.36
= $7.92

1 min = 60 s
3 min = 3 x 60 = 180 s

Sets of 35 seconds of waiting
= 180 ÷ 35
= 5 r 5

Sets of 35 seconds of waiting or less
= 5 + 1
= 6

Amount to pay for sets of 35 seconds of waiting or less
= 6 x 0.20
= $1.20

Eva's taxi fare
= 2.70 + 7.92 + 1.20
= $11.82

Answer(s): $11.82
