Here are the solutions to the questions:

QUESTION 1

1. Why are there 10 trips for 5 days, instead of only 5 trips?
A person typically travels to a destination and back each day. Therefore, for 5 days of travel, there are 5 trips to the destination and 5 return trips, totaling 10 trips.

2. What will be the price for a single trip (1 trip in one direction) if the 5-day ticket is bought?
From Table 1, the 5-day ticket costs R155.50 for 10 trips.

$$\text{Price per single trip} = \frac{\text{Total price}}{\text{Number of trips}}$$
