Question

He gets paid a car travel allowance of 75 cents per kilometre travelled.

How much would Umesh get paid as a travel allowance for a day where he travelled a total of 120 km

Answer 1

Umesh will get paid 90 because 120 × .75 = 90

Answer 2

He would paid $ 90 as a travel allowance.

Explanation:

Given,

The amount of allowance for 1 km = 75 cents,

Thus, the amount of allowance for 120 km = 120 × amount of allowance for 1 km

= 120 × 75

= 9000 cents

= $ 90

( 1 dollar = 100 cents )

Hence, he would paid $ 90 as a travel allowance.
