Q11/16
A sales executive charges his company Rs. 1.75
per km travelled by his two wheeler and Rs. 5
per km if travelled by auto. On a specific day the
executive travelled 120 km and charged his
company
Rs. 288. What is the distance travelled
by auto on that day?
OPTIONS
20 km​

Answer 1

Answer:

Total distance travelled = x kms

Total fare = y rs

According to question,

fare for first km = rs 15

fare for remaining (x−1)kms=rs8

Therefore required linear equation:

y=15+8(x−1)

y=15+8x−8

y=7+8x
