Question

Two salesmen (A and B) hired a taxi to take them from their office to call on their customers. Salesman A's customer lived 10 km away from their office, and Salesman B's customer lived 20 km away The road to B's customer went directly past As customer The trip cost £20 in total, What part of the bill was it fair for each salesman to pay?

Answer 1

Answer:

A has to pay 5 pounds and B has to pay 15 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

As the distance travelled until A is 10 km the fare will be 10 pounds together therefore it will be 5 pounds for A and 5 pounds for B.

and the remaning 10 km will also cost 10 pounds which will be paid by B as A has already left the taxi

Therefore B will have to pay 5+10 pounds to a total of 15 pounds
