Let the fixed charge for the first three days be Rs. A and the charge for each day extra be Rs. B.
According to the information given,
A + 4B = 27 ………………. (i)
A + 2B = 21 ……………….. (ii)
When equation (ii) is subtracted from equation (i) we get,
2B = 6
B = 3 ……………………(iii)
Substituting B = 3 in equation (i) we get,
A + 12 = 27
A = 15
Hence, the fixed charge is Rs. 15.
And the Charge per day is Rs. 3.
