Marks: +1, -0

I hire a taxi from my home to go to my workplace. The fare system in the city is such that for the first kilometre, I am charged Rs 25, and after that, I am charged Rs 6 per kilometre. If my workplace is 10 km far from my home, what amount do I have to pay if I go by taxi?

Rs. 64
Rs. 89
Rs. 90
Rs. 79

Solution:

Concept:

Taxi fare = fixed charge for the first kilometre + charge for the remaining kilometres.

Explanation:

Total distance to workplace

= 10

km.

Distance after the first kilometre

= 10 - 1 = 9

km.

Charge for the first kilometre

= \mathrm{Rs}\,25

.

Charge for the next

9

km

= 9 \times 6 = \mathrm{Rs}\,54

.

Total fare

= 25 + 54 = \mathrm{Rs}\,79

.

Answer:

The amount to pay is

\mathrm{Rs}\,79

.
