The income from a bus in every trip is Rs. 100 . If the bus fare increases by 50% and the number of passengers decreases by 20%, then the income in every trip becomes:

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Total income is given by: Income = Fare per passenger \times Number of passengers Let the initial fare be F and the initial number of passengers be P . Initial Income = F \times P = 100 Following the updates: * New fare (F^{'}) = F + 0.50 F = 1.5 F * New number of passengers (P^{'}) = P - 0.20 P = 0.8 P Calculate the new income: New Income = F^{'} \times P^{'} = (1.5 F) \times (0.8 P) New Income = 1.5 \times 0.8 \times (F \times P) = 1.2 \times (100) = Rs. 120
