Question

The taxi charges in a city comprise of a fixed charge of rs 100 for 5 kms and ` 16 per km for every additional km. If the amount paid at the end of the trip was rs 740 find the distance travelled

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the distance traveled be x,

100 paid for 5 km

additional charge=(740-100)/16

=640/16=40km

total distance=(40+5)km=45km

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let the distance travelled by taxi be'x' km

For the first 5 km the charge = Rs.100

For the additional kms the charge = 16(x-5)

For the x kms the charge = 100+16(x-5)

Amount paid = Rs.740

100+16(x-5) = 740

100+16x-80 = 740

16x+20 = 740

16x = 740-20

16x = 720

x = 720/16

x = 45

I hope u would understand this.
