Question

the taci fare in a town is Rs 10 for the first km and Rs 6 per km for the subsequent distance.taking the distance as x km nd total fare as y km, write a linear equation for the above information. what will be the total fare for 15 km

Answer 1

Here is the complete explanation to the mentioned question.
Fare for the first km = Rs 10
Total distance covered = x km
After travelling first km, remaining distance = (x – 1) km
Rate of fare = Rs 6per km
Fare for (x – 1) km = 6× (x –1)
Total fare = Rs y
Fare for the first km + fare for the remaining distance = y
10 + (x – 1) 6 = y
10 + 6x – 6 = y
6x – y +4 = 0


For covering a distance of 8 Km,

total fare = 10(1) + (8 - 1)7 = 10 + 90 = Rs 100
