Lynn 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 9.7 km to reach Lynn's home. How much was her taxi fare?

Taxi Fare
First km	$3.70
Every additional 300 m or less	$0.24
Every 35 seconds waiting or less	$0.20

Amount to pay for the first 1 km = $3.70

Remaining distance to pay for
= 9.7 - 1
= 8.7 km

1 km = 1000 m
8.7 km = 8.7 x 1000 = 8700 m

Sets of additional 300 m
= 8700 ÷ 300
= 29 r 0

Amount to pay for remaining 8.7 km
= 29 x 0.24
= $6.96

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 0.20
= $0.80

Lynn's taxi fare
= 3.70 + 6.96 + 0.80
= $11.46

Answer(s): $11.46
