Final answer:
The total cost for a 5-km ride on a kalesa is P95.00, which is calculated as P50.00 for the first 2 km plus P45.00 for the next 3 km at P15.00 per km.
Step-by-step explanation:
The cost of a 5-km ride using the kalesa's fare structure begins with a charge of P50.00 for the first 2 kilometers. For the remaining distance after the first 2 kilometers, there is an additional charge of P15.00 per kilometer. Since the ride is 5 kilometers in total, we calculate the cost for the additional 3 kilometers after the first 2 kilometers:
- Cost for the first 2 km: P50.00
- Additional cost for 3 km (3 km × P15.00/km): P45.00
Add the initial charge to the additional charge to get the total cost:
Total cost = P50.00 + P45.00 = P95.00
