A taxi charges rupees 9 per km and a fixed charge of rupees 50.if the taxi is hired for x km,write an algebraic expression for this situation
Answer
Since the taxi charges Rs.50 no matter how much you travel we know that it will be added to the total cost.
So right now the equation is +50
Now we know that we are being charged 9rupees per kilometer and the number of kilometers are x. Therefore, the total kilometer cost would be 9*x
Therefore the final equation becomes: 9x+50.
