Jade 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 7.7 km to reach Jade's home. How much was her taxi fare?

Taxi Fare
First km	$3.20
Every additional 300 m or less	$0.26
Every 30 seconds waiting or less	$0.20

Amount to pay for the first 1 km = $3.20

Remaining distance to pay for
= 7.7 - 1
= 6.7 km

1 km = 1000 m
6.7 km = 6.7 x 1000 = 6700 m

Sets of additional 300 m
= 6700 ÷ 300
= 22 r 100

Sets of additional 300 m or less
= 22 + 1
= 23

Amount to pay for remaining 6.7 km
= 23 x 0.26
= $5.98

1 min = 60 s
2 min = 2 x 60 = 120 s

Sets of 30 seconds of waiting
= 120 ÷ 30
= 4 r 0

Amount to pay for sets of 30 seconds of waiting or less
= 4 x 0.20
= $0.80

Jade's taxi fare
= 3.20 + 5.98 + 0.80
= $9.98

Answer(s): $9.98
