Solution

Since there is a partially fixed component and varying component and the varying component varies with the kilometres travelled.

In the equation x+10y=200 , y is the variable varying with the kilometres travelled since it is multiplied by 10 and x is the fixed component which is independent of the kilometre.

Answer is x
