Question

Solomon is going to deliver some goods. He charges £6.00 per hour and 39p per mile for delivery. He writes down his mileage before and after he has made the journey.

Before= 14113 | After= 14218
This journey takes 6 hours and 15 minutes.
How much does he charge to deliver these goods?

Answer 1

To deliver the goods, Solomon will charge £78.45 - £37.50 for the hours and £40.95 for the distance.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the charge for delivering the goods, we need to calculate the total charge for the hours and the total charge for the distance.

1. Calculate the charge for the hours:

Charge per hour = £6.00
Time taken = 6 hours and 15 minutes = 6.25 hours
Total charge for hours = Charge per hour * Time taken = £6.00 * 6.25 = £<<6.00*6.25=37.50>>37.50

2. Calculate the charge for the distance:

Charge per mile = £0.39
Distance traveled = After mileage - Before mileage = 14218 - 14113 = 105 miles
Total charge for distance = Charge per mile * Distance traveled = £0.39 * 105 = £<<0.39*105=40.95>>40.95

3. Calculate the total charge:

Total charge = Total charge for hours + Total charge for distance = £37.50 + £40.95 = £<<37.50+40.95=78.45>>78.45

Therefore, Solomon will charge £78.45 to deliver these goods.
