Question

Ratnam hired a car from a car renting agency which charges a flat amount of Rs x for travelling up to 40 kilometres and Rs. y per km for every kilometre travelled thereafter. How much should Ratnam pay the agency for a journey of 50 kilometres in Rs. ?

Answer 1

Rs. X + Rs. 10y

Explanation:

Charge for 40 km travel = Rs. x per km

Charge for every additional km traveled = Rs. y

Amount paid for 50 km

Fixed charge for 40km = Rs. X

Additional km = 50 - 40 = 10 kilometer

Total charge :

Rs. X + Rs. 10y
