Answer 1

❥ Given Data

• Taxi meter shows the charge of ₹ 50 for the first 2 km of Journey
• Taxi meter shows the charge of ₹ 16 for every subsequent km traveled
• Amount Paid by Manju = ₹ 258
• Total Distance Travelled  $\sf{--To\:Find}$

❥ Solution

• Taxi meter shows the charge of ₹ 50 for the first 2 km of Journey, So now the cost Manju need to pay from remaining distance of the journey will be : 258 - 50 = ₹ 208

• Taxi meter shows the charge of ₹ 16 for every subsequent km traveled, 208 ÷ 16 = 13 km

• Total Distance = 13 km + 2 km = 15 km

Answer 2

Given:

A taxi meter shows the charge of Rs. 50 for the first two kilometers of Journey and Rs. 16 for every subsequent kilometer traveled. Manju pays Rs. 258 fare.

To Find:

What is total distance?

Solution:

It is given that the taxi meter shows the charge of Rs. 50 for the first two kilometers of Journey.

Amount she paid is Rs 258.

=> 258 - 50 = 208

Finding total distance:

it's given that she pays Rs. 16 for every subsequent kilometer.

1 km = Rs 16

? km = Rs 208

=> To find the km, we need to divide 208 with 16.

=> 208 ÷ 16

=> 13

She pays Rs 208 for 13 km and Rs 50 for 2 km. So total distance is 13 + 2 = 15 km.
