1.	A taxi charges a fare of ₹2550 for journey of 150 km. How much would it charge for a journey of 124 km.
Answer» If distance increases the fare also increases therefore it’s directly proportional. Let us consider the required fare as ₹x, 2550/150 = x/124 150 × x = 2550 × 124 150x = 316200 x = 316200/150 x = ₹2108 ∴ ₹2108 is the charge for journey of 124 km

Answer»

If distance increases the fare also increases therefore it’s directly proportional.

Let us consider the required fare as ₹x, 2550/150 = x/124

150 × x = 2550 × 124

150x = 316200

x = 316200/150

x = ₹2108

∴ ₹2108 is the charge for journey of 124 km
