Question

The auto fare for the first km is fixed and is different from the rate per km for the remaining distance a man pays rs57 for the distance of 16 km and r 92 for a distance of 26 km find the auto fare for the first km and for each successive km.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given The auto fare for the first km is fixed and is different from the rate per km for the remaining distance a man pays rs57 for the distance of 16 km and r 92 for a distance of 26 km find the auto fare for the first km and for each successive km

Let the fixed price be Rs a and let the cost for subsequent km be Rs b. Now according to question assuming Rs 15 fixed charge for 1 st Km, we get the equations as

   a + 15 b = 57

a + 25 b = 92

subtracting we get

- 10 b = - 35

b = 35/10

b = 3.5

Now a + 15 b = 57

     a + 15 (3.5) = 57

     a + 52.5 = 57

    a = 4.5

So a = Rs 4.5 and b = Rs 3.5  per km after first km

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

a = 4.5

b= 3.5

by making equation

and subtracting

we will get a and b
