Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount paid for electricity bill be x

electricity bill : telephone bill = 6 : 16

               => 6/16 = x/800+x

                   4800 + 6x = 16x

                   10x = 4800

                       x = 480

telephone bill = Rs 1280

electricity bill = Rs 480
