Question

Taxi charges in a city consist of fixed charges and the remaining depending upon the distance

travelled in kilometres. If a person travels 80 km, he pays ₹1330, and for travelling 90 km, he

pays ₹1490. Find the fixed charges and the rate per kilometre​​

Answer 1

Let the fixed charge be x and rate per km be y

So, x+80y=1330x+90y=1490

Subtracting above Equations from each other

10y=160

⇒y=16

and 

x+80∗16=1330

⇒x=1330−1280

=50

Answer 2

The fixed charge is Rs50, and rate per km is Rs 16.
