Answer 1

Answer:

( i ) Fixed charges is 40 and charge per km is 18

( ii ) For travelling a distance of 25 km person has to pay 436.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the fixed amount be x.

and let additional charge for travelling each kilometer be y.

Then, According to the question

x + (10 - 3)y = 166         {∵ travelling charge is fixed for first 3 km)

⇒ x + 7y = 166    → ( 1 )

x + (15 - 3)y = 256         {∵ travelling charge is fixed for first 3 km)

⇒ x + 12y = 256    → ( 2 )

Solving equations (1) & ( 2). We get,

x = 40 and y = 18

( i )- Hence fixed charge is 40

and charge per km be 18.

( ii )- For travelling a distance of 25 km person has to pay 40 + 22 × 18 = 436.
