Question

Seema is an online taxi driver and she has set a target to earn Rs.
1000 on monday. The meter charges the customer at a rate of Rs
10 per kilometer for traveller. But the driver gets only half of the
amount paid by the traveller after deduction of the commission and
other charges by the taxi company.
Form a linear equation in two variable.

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 5x

Step-by-step explanation:

Target = Rs 1000

Earnings:

1 km = Rs 10 ÷ 2

1 km = Rs 5

⇒ The drive earns Rs 5 for every 1 km travelled

Define x and y:

Let x be the amount number of km traveled.

Let y be the total amount of money earned.

Form the linear equation:

y = 5x

------- Not in the question ----------

Find the number of hours that the driver needs to travel to earn his Rs 1000.

y = Rs 1000

5x = Rs 1000

x = 1000 ÷ 5 = 200 hours

The driver needs to drive for 200 hours to reach his target of Rs 1000
