# The U.S Department of Transportation has a rule designed to reduce passenger discomfort and inconvenience. It states that airlines must let passengers off domestic flights when they have waited three hours without taking off. Airlines that don’t comply can be fined up to $27,500 per passenger.If a Premium Airlines 767 aircraft with 254 passengers on board was fined the maximum penalty for waiting four hours on the tarmac at JFK before takeoff last Tuesday, what was the amount of the fine? To determine To calculate: The amount of fine on the passengers if the penalty is$27,500 per passenger and a premium Airline 767 aircraft with 254 passengers on board was fined the maximum penalty for waiting four hours on the tarmac at JFK before takeoff.

Explanation

Given Information:

The penalty per passenger is $27,500 and total passengers are 254. Calculation: If the penalty per passenger is$27,500 and total number of passengers are 254 then total amount of the fine will be,

27,500×             254                      ¯

Remove the zeros and add them later in the final solution:

275×           254                    ¯

Multiply the multiplier ‘4’ with the multiplicand, and write the partial product under the corresponding column:

275×           254          1,100 ¯

Multiply the multiplier ‘5’ with the multiplicand, and write the partial product under the corresponding column:

275×
