Question

A taxi charges a fare of $Rs.2550$ for journey of $150km.$ How much would it charge for a journey of $124km$.

Answer 1

If distance increases the diesel also increase

therefore it's directly proportional.

Let us consider the required fare as $Rs.x$, then

$2550/150=x/124$

$150\times x=2550\times 124$
$150x=316200$
$x=316200/150$

$x=Rs.2108$

$\therefore Rs.2108$ is the charge for journey of $124km$
