Question

A man hired an auto for 7 km. The fare was 9 for the first km and 5 for every subsequent km. He paid 50, to which the auto driver said that its not the correct amount. The actual fare is somewhat less than that the amount you have paid to me
(i) Calculate the correct fare
(ii) which value is being promoted by the auto driver.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

i. For the first kilometer = Rs. 9

Distance left = 6km

Therefore, for the rest of the distance = Rs. 5 × 6km = Rs. 30

Adding both of the fares = Rs. 30+9= Rs. 39.

Hence, answer is 39.

ii. The value promoted by the driver was honesty.
