Answer 1

Answer:

Rs. 1940

Step-by-step explanation:

No. of passengers =27

In 1st stop money collected =>

Money collected from 12 passengers from starting to 1st stop=

12×50 = 600 —(eq. 1)

In2nd stop money collected =>

Money collected from 6 passengers from 1st stop to 2nd stop=

6×(70-50) = 120 —(eq. 2)

In final stop money collected =>

(Money collected from 11 passengers from starting to final point) + (Money collected from 3 passengers from 1st stop to final point) + (Money

collected from 12 passengers from 2nd stop to final point) =

935 + 105 + 180 = 1220 —(eq. 3)

Adding eq. (1,2,3)

600+120+1220 = 1940

Thus total money collected is Rs. 1940
