Answer 1

Answer:

Rs. 180

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the fixed charge of taxi be Rs. x per km and the running charge be ` y per km.

According to the question,

x + 10y = 75          --------------- [1]

x + 15y = 110          -------------- [2]

Subtracting equation [2] from equation [1], we get

– 5y = – 35

⟹ y = 7

Putting y = 7 in equation [1], we get x = 5

∴Total charges for travelling a distance of 25 km = x + 25y

= (5 + 25 × 7)

= (5 + 175)

= Rs. 180
