Answer 1

The total cost of the taxi fare for traveling 8 kilometers is AED 127.296

Explanation:

For each kilometer,the fare is 13.82 + 1.82 = 15.3 AED

Now, including the 4% tax, we get,

4% = 0.04

Tax = 0.04(15.3) = AED 0.612

SO, total fare(including tax) per kilometer = 15.3 + 0.612 = AED 15.912

For, 8 kilometer, we have, 8(total fare(including tax) per kilometer)

= 8(15.912)

= 127.296

The total cost of the taxi fare for traveling 8 kilometers is AED 127.296
