Question

A three wheeler scooter charges Rs.15 for first kilometre and Rs.8 each for every subsequent kilometre. For a distance of x km, an amount of Rs.y is paid. Write the linear equation representing the above information.

Answer 1

Answer:

The linear equation is y = 8x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information, we can say that

Rs 15 is the fixed charge till first kilometer.

And Rs 8 is for every subsequent kilometer. Hence, for (x-1) km the charge will be 8(x-1)

Hence, if x is the distance traveled and y is total charge. Then, we have

Total cost = Variable cost + Fixed cost

y = 8(x-1) + 15

y = 8x -8 +15

y = 8x +7

The linear equation is y = 8x + 7
