The table below shows bus fares to different towns in shillings.

A man, his wife and their 3 children left Njiwa for Kanga. They stopped at Tausi and then continued with the journey to Kanga in another bus. The buses used the same table and the fare for children is half that of adults. How much did they pay altogether?

A. sh 3,750
B. sh 2,625
C. sh 2,450
D. sh 1,875

---

The correct answer is [B]

-From Njiwa to Tausi
Man = 250
Wife = 250

3 children = 125 x 3 = 375
-From Tausi to Kanga
Man = 500
Wife = 500

-3 children = 250 x 3 = 750
Total = 500 + 500 + 750 = 1750
Grand total = 875 + 1750 = 2625
