Example 1: Short Trip

Suppose you take a taxi for a short trip of 5 kilometers in 10 minutes. Using the formula:

Total Fare = $3.50 + (5 × $1.20) + (10 × $0.30) = $3.50 + $6.00 + $3.00 = $12.50

The estimated fare for this short trip would be $12.50.

Example 2: Long Trip

For a longer trip of 20 kilometers in 30 minutes, the calculation would be:

Total Fare = $3.50 + (20 × $1.20) + (30 × $0.30) = $3.50 + $24.00 + $9.00 = $36.50

The estimated fare for this longer trip would be $36.50.
