Answer:
here is ur answer hope u have been understood
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the fixed charge of taxi be Rs. x per km and the running charge be ` y per km.
According to the question,
x + 10y = 75
x + 15y = 110
Subtracting equation (ii) from equation (i), we get
– 5y = – 35
⟹ y = 7
Putting y = 7 in equation (i), we get x = 5
∴Total charges for travelling a distance of 25 km = x + 25y
= (5 + 25 × 7)
= (5 + 175)
= 180
