Expert Answer
Let the fixed charge for first three days and each day charge thereafter be Rs x and Rs y respectively.
According to the question,
Subtracting equation (2) from equation (1), we obtain:
2y = 6
y = 3
Substituting the value of y in equation (1), we obtain:
x + 12 = 27
x = 15
Hence, the fixed charge is Rs 15 and the charge per day is Rs 3.
