The prompt
A delivery rider in Bengaluru rides 30 km a day, 300 days a year. A petrol scooter does 50 km per litre and petrol costs INR 100 per litre. An electric scooter uses 3 kWh per 100 km and electricity costs INR 8 per kWh. The electric scooter costs INR 30,000 more to buy. How long does the rider take to earn back the extra price from fuel savings? Ignore maintenance for now.
