Answer 2

Answer:

I) Fixed charges = ₹40 , Charge per km = ₹18

II)Money to be paid for travelling 25 km = ₹490

Step-by-step explanation:

I) Let the Fixed charges be ₹x & Charge per km be ₹y.

⇒Charge for 15 km = x + 15y = ₹310 -------> (1)

⇒Charge for 10 km = x + 10y = ₹220 ------->(2)

(1) - (2)

⇒ 5y = 90

⇒ y = 18 ------>(3)

On sub. (3) in (2)

⇒ x + 180 = 220

⇒ x = 40

∴  Fixed charges = ₹40 , Charge per km = ₹18.

II) Charges for 25 km = 40 + 25(18) = ₹490
