Shannon 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 8.2 km to reach Shannon's home. How much was her taxi fare?

Taxi Fare
First km	$3.70
Every additional 300 m or less	$0.24
Every 40 seconds waiting or less	$0.30

Amount to pay for the first 1 km = $3.70

Remaining distance to pay for
= 8.2 - 1
= 7.2 km

1 km = 1000 m
7.2 km = 7.2 x 1000 = 7200 m

Sets of additional 300 m
= 7200 ÷ 300
= 24 r 0

Amount to pay for remaining 7.2 km
= 24 x 0.24
= $5.76

1 min = 60 s
3 min = 3 x 60 = 180 s

Sets of 40 seconds of waiting
= 180 ÷ 40
= 4 r 20

Sets of 40 seconds of waiting or less
= 4 + 1
= 5

Amount to pay for sets of 40 seconds of waiting or less
= 5 x 0.30
= $1.50

Shannon's taxi fare
= 3.70 + 5.76 + 1.50
= $10.96

Answer(s): $10.96
