Gem 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 4.7 km to reach Gem's home. How much was her taxi fare?

Taxi Fare
First km	$3.50
Every additional 300 m or less	$0.26
Every 45 seconds waiting or less	$0.30

Amount to pay for the first 1 km = $3.50

Remaining distance to pay for
= 4.7 - 1
= 3.7 km

1 km = 1000 m
3.7 km = 3.7 x 1000 = 3700 m

Sets of additional 300 m
= 3700 ÷ 300
= 12 r 100

Sets of additional 300 m or less
= 12 + 1
= 13

Amount to pay for remaining 3.7 km
= 13 x 0.26
= $3.38

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 0.30
= $1.20

Gem's taxi fare
= 3.50 + 3.38 + 1.20
= $8.08

Answer(s): $8.08
