amount will be collected for every hour. Sita paid Rs.4600 for 17 hours, while Simran paid, Rs.
3800 for 13 hours. Calculate the fixed charge and extra charge per hour.

Answer 1

Good morning,☕️

Answer:

the fixed charge = Rs 3600

the extra charge per hour = Rs 200

Explanation:

Let x represent the fixed charge

and y represent the extra charge per hour

then we have to solve the following equations system :

x + (17-12)y = 4600

x + (13-12)y = 3800

⇔

x + 5y = 4600 (1)

x + y = 3800 (2)

(1)-(2)⇒ 4y = 4600-3800=800 then 4y=800 then y=200

we replace y by 200 in equation (2) : x = 3800-200 = 3600.
