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

Taxi Fare
First km	$2.10
Every additional 300 m or less	$0.35
Every 35 seconds waiting or less	$0.40

Amount to pay for the first 1 km = $2.10

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 0.35
= $4.55

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 0.40
= $1.60

Joelle's taxi fare
= 2.10 + 4.55 + 1.60
= $8.25

Answer(s): $8.25
