It is 8 Km from Jim's house to the train station. Green Taxi Service charges $1.50 for the first 0.5 Km and $0.25 for each additional 0.1 Km. It also charges $0.20 per minute for every minute the taxi waits. A Green cab took Ted to the train station, waited 15 minutes for Carol's train to arrive, and then took Jim and Carol back to Jim's house. How much does Jim owe to the Taxi Service?
Answer for sheet # 339
$0.25 for 0.1 km means $2.50 for 1 km
Total distance drive: 8 km x 2 = 16 Km
$1.50 for first 0.5 km.
15.5 km at $2.50/km
$1.50 + ( $2.50 x 15.5) = $40.25
Waiting charge = $0.20 x 15 minutes = $3.00
Total = $43.25
