Solution

the bus fare between 2 cities is increased in the ratio 7:9.find the increase in the fare

if - 1.the orignal fare is rs.245

2. the increased fare is rs.207

Original price = 7x

Increased price = 9x

(1) Given 7x = 245

x= 245/7 =35

Increased price = 9 *x = 9*35=315

Increase in the fair = 315-245=Rs. 70

(2) Given increased fare = Rs. 207

9x =207

x= 207/9=23

Original fare = 7x = 7*23=161

Increase in the fare = 207-161=Rs. 46
