The second class railway fare for 240 km of Journey is Rs 15.00. What would be the fare for a Journey of 139.2 km?
Let us consider the fare as Rs ‘x’
| Distance (km) | 240 | 139.2 | | Fare (Rs) | 15 | x |
240/15 = 139.2/x
By cross-multiplying
240x = 139.2(15)
240x = 2088
x = 2088/240
= 8.7
∴ The fare for the journey of 139.2 km is Rs 8.7.
