Question

The meter of a taxi strikes rs 9.50 as soon as a passenger gets in and it goes on increasing by rs 5 for every kilometre. find the maximum kilometre that the passenger can travel for rs 80.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Maximum km that the passenger can travel for ₹80 is 14.10km or 14100m.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the distance in km travelled by the passenger and y be the total fare of the journey.

According to question, y = ₹80

⇒ y = 9.50 + 5x

or 80 = 9.50 + 5x

or 5x = 80-9.50 = 70.50

or x = 70.50/5

⇒ x = 14.10km or 14100m

∴The maximum distance that the passenger can travel for ₹80 is 14.10km or 14100m.
