Report 5 / 5

A transport company provides bus, taxi and van service to send students to school and adults to work.

If a person takes the bus, another person takes taxi and a third person takes the van, then the total fare collected by the transport company is \(\text{RM}26\).

If a person takes the bus, \(2\) people take the taxi and \(3\) other people take the van, then the total fare collected is \(\text{RM}50\).

Finally, if \(2\) people take the bus, a person takes the taxi and another person takes the van, the the total fare is \(\text{RM}33\).
