If 800 more was paid for the telephone than for the electricity, how much was paid for each? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

difference in ratio=16-6=10.

difference in money=800

10=800

1=80

6=80*6= 480

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

ratio is 6:16 for electricity bill and telephone bill.

let' E ' be electricity bill and 'T' be telephone bill.

since T= E+800___1

(as 800 more was paid for the telephone than for the electricity)

6/16=E/T

6/16=E/E+800

6(E+800) =16E

6E+4800=16E

4800=16E-6E

4800=10E

4800/10=E

480=E

Electricity bill=₹480

Telephone bill=₹1280
