Alright, let's solve this problem step by step:
1. Understand the charges:
- The initial charge (starting fee) is [tex]$3.00.
- The additional charge is $[/tex]0.60 per kilometer.
2. Determine the total money available:
- You have a total of [tex]$19.20.
3. Subtract the initial charge from the total money:
- To find out how much money is available for the per-kilometer fare, we need to subtract the initial charge from the total money.
- \( 19.20 - 3.00 = 16.20 \)
- So, you have $[/tex]16.20 available for the per-kilometer fare.
4. Calculate the distance you can travel with the remaining money:
- The cost per kilometer is [tex]$0.60.
- To find the distance, divide the remaining money by the per-kilometer charge:
\[
\text{Distance} = \frac{16.20}{0.60}
\]
5. Perform the division:
\[
\text{Distance} = \frac{16.20}{0.60} = 27
\]
Therefore, you can travel 27 kilometers for $[/tex]19.20 in Victoria, BC.
