2.1.3 A person travels from Port Elizabeth to Bloemfontein via another city, City Y and uses two different taxis. The total cost for this one-way trip is R955. Calculate the cost from Port Elizabeth to City Y and hence identify City Y.

To solve this problem, we need to break it down step by step. 1. **Extract Known Conditions:** - The total cost for the trip from Port Elizabeth to Bloemfontein via City Y is R955. - The trip involves two different taxis. 2. **Assumptions:** - Let's denote the cost from Port Elizabeth to City Y as \( x \). - Let's denote the cost from City Y to Bloemfontein as \( y \). 3. **Set Up the Equation:** - According to the information given, we can set up the equation: \[ x + y = 955 \] 4. **Identify City Y:** - To identify City Y, we need additional information about the costs of the trips or the distance between the cities. However, since this information is not provided, we can only express the relationship between \( x \) and \( y \). 5. **Conclusion:** - Without additional data regarding the cost of the trip from City Y to Bloemfontein or any specific costs associated with the taxis, we cannot determine the exact values of \( x \) and \( y \) or identify City Y. If you have any specific costs or additional information about the trip, please provide that so we can proceed with the calculations.
