▪︎To Find:-
- Fixed Charge of Taxi
- Charge of taxi per km
════◄••❀••►════
▪︎Solution:-
Let the taxi fixed charges be ₹x
Let the taxi charges depends on Distance be ₹y
➥ According to given conditions;
x + 80y = 1330------- eq.1
And,x + 90y = 1490------- eq.2
➥ By subtracting eq.2 from eq.1 , we get
x + 80y - (x + 90y) = 1330 - 1490
➟ x + 80y - x - 90y = -160
➟ x - x + 80y - 90y = -160
➟ -10y = -160
➟ y = -160 ÷ -10
➟ y = 16
➥ Putting y = 16 in eq.1, we get
x + 80y = 1330
➟ x + 80×16 =1330
➟ x + 1280 = 1330
➟ x = 1330 - 1280
➟ x = 50
Hence,
- Fixed taxi charges is ₹50
- Charges depends on distance covered is ₹16 per km.
