Question

A three wheeler scooter charges Rs.10 for the first Km. and Rs.4.50 each for every subsequent Km. for a distance of x Km. an amount of Rs.y is paid. Write the linear equation representing the above information.

Answer 1

For the first km: 10
subsequent : (x-1)4.50

so total cost y=10+(x-1)4.50

Answer 2

FIRST KILOMETER RS10
NEXT KM (X-1)4.50
LINEAR EQUATION IS
Y=10+(X-1)4.50
