Question

When the fare for certain journey by an airline was increased in the ratio 7:6 the cost of the ticket became Rs 2240 find the increase in the fair

Answer 1

Answer:

If the ticket cost for the journey is increased in the ratio 7:6, and the new cost of ticket became Rs 2240 then the increase in fare is Rs 320

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The ratio of increase in ticket = 7:6

That is

If 6x is the old ticket cost for the journey then 7x is the new ticket cost for the journey

Given new cost = Rs 2240

That is, 7x = 2240

x = 2240/7 = 320

So, old cost = 6x = 6*320 = Rs 1920

So increase in fare = new cost - old cost

= 2240-1920

= Rs 320

So the cost of the ticket was increased by Rs 320
