Understanding Mola's Taxi Platform Revenue

The question asks us to determine the percentage share of revenue contributed by Prime rides to the total revenues of Mola, a digital taxi platform, for the entire four-month duration. Mola earns one US dollar per ride.

First, let's look at the provided data for the number of rides for each type (Pool, Mini, Prime) across the four months (January, February, March, April).

Type January February March April
Pool 170 320 215 190
Mini 110 220 180 70
Prime 75 180 120 90

Calculating Total Prime Rides

To find the total revenue from Prime rides, we first need to sum up the number of Prime rides for all four months.

  • January Prime rides: 75
  • February Prime rides: 180
  • March Prime rides: 120
  • April Prime rides: 90

Total Prime rides \( = 75 + 180 + 120 + 90 = 465 \) rides

Determining Total Rides Across All Types

Next, we need to calculate the total number of rides for all types (Pool, Mini, and Prime) over the four months to find the total revenue of the Mola platform.

Total Pool Rides: \( 170 + 320 + 215 + 190 = 895 \) rides

Total Mini Rides: \( 110 + 220 + 180 + 70 = 580 \) rides

Total Prime Rides: (as calculated above) \( 465 \) rides

Total Rides (All Types): \( 895 \text{ (Pool)} + 580 \text{ (Mini)} + 465 \text{ (Prime)} = 1940 \) rides

Calculating Revenue for Prime and Total

Since the Mola platform earns one US dollar per ride, the number of rides directly corresponds to the revenue in US dollars.

  • Prime Revenue: Total Prime rides \( \times 1 \text{ USD/ride} = 465 \text{ rides} \times 1 \text{ USD/ride} = 465 \text{ USD} \)
  • Total Revenue: Total rides (All Types) \( \times 1 \text{ USD/ride} = 1940 \text{ rides} \times 1 \text{ USD/ride} = 1940 \text{ USD} \)

Calculating Prime's Percentage Share of Revenue

To find the percentage share of revenue contributed by Prime to the total revenues, we use the formula:

\( \text{Percentage Share} = \left( \frac{\text{Prime Revenue}}{\text{Total Revenue}} \right) \times 100 \)

Substitute the calculated revenue values: \( \text{Percentage Share} = \left( \frac{465}{1940} \right) \times 100 \)

Perform the division: \( \frac{465}{1940} \approx 0.23969072 \)

Multiply by 100 to get the percentage: \( 0.23969072 \times 100 \approx 23.969072 \)

Rounding to two decimal places, the percentage share is 23.97%.

This detailed calculation shows how the Prime ride type contributes to the overall financial performance of the Mola digital taxi platform.
