Question

scooter charges consist of fixed charge and remaining charge depending upon the distance travelled in km. if a person travels 10km he pays rss. 65and for travelling 16 km he pays Rd. 95 find the fixedcharges and rate per km.

Answer 1

Let x be the fixed charge and y be the charge dependent on distance per km
So,
After travelling 10km total charge was 65

x+ 10y =65.......................1)

After travelling 16km total charge was 95

x+16y = 95........................2)

Substracting equation 1) by 2)

-6y= -30

y=5

Substituting y=5 in equation 1)

x+ 50 =65
x=15

So,
Fixed charge is 15 rupees and charge dependent on distance is 5 rupees
