Question

A three-wheeler scooter charges ₹ 10 for the first kilometer and ₹ 4.50 each for

every subsequent kilometer. For a distance of x km, an amount of ₹ y is paid.

Write the linear equation representing the above information.​

Answer 1

Answer:

10+(x-1)4.50=y

This is the linear equation

Answer 2

Given :

The scooter charges ₹ 10 for first kilometer and ₹ 4.50 for every subsequent kilometer.

Distance traveled = x km

So, ₹ 10 is paid for first kilometer and ₹ 4.50 each for every subsequent kilometer for the rest x − 1 km.

Total amount paid = 10 + 4.50 (x − 1)

y = 10 + 4.50 x − 4.50

y = 4.50 x + 5.5

This is the required linear equation for the given information.
