Question

26. The taxi fare in a town is Rs 10 for the first kilometer and Rs 6 per km for the subsequent distance. Taking the total distance covered as x km and total fare as Rs. y, write a linear equation for this information. What will be the total fare for 15 km?​

Answer 1

Answer:

y=10+6(x-1)

y=6x+4

for 15km

y=94rs

Answer 2

Fare for 1st km = Rs.10

Total distance travelled = x km

Fare for subsequent distance = Rs. 6/km Total fare = Rs. y

So,

Total fare = Fare for 1st km + (Total distance - 1 km) * Fare for subsequent distance.

Therefore y = 10 + (x - 1)6

So, total fare for 15 km is

y = 10 + (151)6

y = 10 + 84

y = Rs. 94
