The expenses of a journey are made up of bus,train and taxi fares.The train fare is 5 times the bus fare,and the taxi fare is twice the bus fare.The total expense is$16. What is the train fare?
Bus + Train + Taxi = 16.
Train = 5·Bus
Taxi = 2·Bus
Substituting: Bus + 5·Bus + 2·Bus = 16
Simplifying: 8·Bus = 16
Dividing by 8: Bus = 2
Train = 5·Bus = 5·2 = 10
Taxi = 2·Bus = 2·2 = 4
