Question 117

A Python program that calculates taxi fare costs based on the license plate and journey distance is shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1

1  fareAmount = 0
2  licensePlate = input("Enter taxi license plate: ")
3  while len(licensePlate) != 6:
4      errorMessage = "Invalid license plate format"
5      licensePlate = input(errorMessage)
6  distance = float(input("Enter journey distance in miles: "))
7  if distance < 3:
8      fareAmount = 6.50
9  else:
10     fareAmount = distance * 1.80
11  print(fareAmount)

The fare structure for journeys of 3 miles or more is changed to include an additional clean air zone toll of £3.20.

Rewrite line 10 in Figure 1 to show this change.

Your answer must be written in Python.
