Answer 2

The electricity bill is ₹ 480 and telephone bill is ₹ 1280.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let ₹ x be the electricity bill.

It is given that ₹ 800 more was paid for the telephone than for the electricity.

Telephone bill = ₹ (x+800)

The electricity bill and the telephone bill of a family for the month of june were in the ratio 6:16.

$\frac{\text{Electricity bill}}{\text{Telephone bill}}=\frac{6}{16}$

$\frac{x}{x+800}=\frac{6}{16}$

$\frac{x}{x+800}=\frac{3}{8}$

On cross multiplication we get

$8x=3(x+800)$

$8x=3x+2400$

Subtract 3x from both sides.

$8x-3x=2400$

$5x=2400$

Divide both sides by 5.

$x=\frac{2400}{5}$

$x=480$

Electricity bill = ₹ 480

Telephone bill = ₹ (480+800) = ₹ 1280

Therefore, the electricity bill is ₹ 480 and telephone bill is ₹ 1280.
