Question

If a person travels in taxi ,he has to pay 500Rs. for first 5 km and for subsequent km he has to pay 50 Rs. per km . If the person pays 3000Rs as total fare , how many km did he travel ?

Answer 1

Total payment = Rs 3000

Find the amount paid after first km:

first km = Rs 500

Subsequent km = 3000 - 500 = Rs 2500

Find the number of km traveled after the 1st km:

Number of km = 2500 ÷ 50 = 50 km

Find the total km traveled:

total km traveled = 50 + 1 = 51km

Answer: He traveled 51 km
