The currency in Macau, China is the MOP.
The standard rate for a taxi is MOP$11.00 for the first 1,500 meters, plus MOP$1.00 for every additional 180 meters.
Calculate the cost, in US dollars, for a 3.48 km taxi ride. Assume 1 US Dollar = 7.98 MOP.
:
Change 3.48 km to 3480 meters
Find the cost in MOP's
C = 1%28%283480-1500%29%2F180%29 + 11
C = 2380%2F180 + 11
C = 11 + 11
C = $22.00 MOPS
:
Change to US$
22%2F7.98 = $2.76
