Question:
A taxi charges a fare of Rs 2550 for a journey of 150 km. How much would it charge for a journey of 124 km?
Solution:
Let the charge for a journey of 124 km be ₹x.
| Price(in ₹) | 2550 | x |
| Distance(in km) | 150 | 124 |
More is the distance travelled, more will be the price.
So, it is a case of direct proportion.
$\therefore \frac{2550}{150}=\frac{x}{124}$
$\Rightarrow x=\frac{2550 \times 124}{150}=2108$
Thus, the taxi charges ₹2,108 for the distance of 124 km.
