Dial-A-Lift Luxury Transport offers ride services in the local area of Maitland.

They currently use the formula below to calculate the cost of each fare.

   Total fare \(=\) Booking fee \(+\) Cost per kilometre \(\times\) Number of kilometres travelled

A spreadsheet used to calculate the total fare is shown.
 

  1. By using appropriate grid references, write down a formula that could have been used in cell E4.   (2 marks)

    --- 2 WORK AREA LINES (style=lined) ---

  2. A trip with a different number of kilometres travelled is entered, but the booking fee and cost per kilometre remain unchanged. As a result, the value in cell E4 changes to $47.50.
  3. Calculate the value entered in cell B6.   (2 marks)

    --- 5 WORK AREA LINES (style=lined) ---

a.    \(=\text{B4}+ \text{B5} \ ^* \ \text{B6}\)

b.    \(\text{Cell B6 value = 13.}\)

Show Worked Solution

a.    \(=\text{B4}+ \text{B5} \ ^* \ \text{B6}\)
 

b.     \(47.5\) \(=15+2.5 n\)
  \(32.5\) \(=2.5n\)
  \(n\) \(=\dfrac{32.5}{2.5}=13\)

 
\(\text{Cell B6 value = 13.}\)
