Answer 1

Answer:

320

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the actual fare be x

according to problem 7:6::2240:x

Product of means = Product of Extremes

6*2240 = 7*x

x = 1920

Increase in fare = Final Fare - Initial Fare = 2240 - 1920 = 320

Answer 2

The increase in fare is Rs.320

Step-by-step explanation:

The fare for a certain journey by an airline was increased in the ratio of 7:6

Let the ratio be x

Increased fare = 7x

Original fare = 6x

The cost of ticket became 2240

So, 7x=2240

$x=\frac{2240}{7}$

x=320

Original fare = 6x =6(320)=1920

Increase in fare = 2240 - 1920 =320

Hence The increase in fare is Rs.320
