Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be fixed charge for 2 days and Y be additional charge for each day....

Lathika used for 6 day......that is she was charged with 2 days+4 additional days and paid 22

so X+4Y=22_______(1)

Anand used for 4 days.....that is 2 days+2 additional days and paid 16

so X+2Y=16_______(2)

by solving (1) & (2) we get

X=10 and Y=3

that is fixed charge for days is $10 and additional charge for each day is $3....
