Let X be fixed charge for 2 days and Y be additional charge for each day....Lathika used for 6 day......that is she was charged with 2 days+4 additional days and paid 22so X+4Y=22_______(1)Anand used for 4 days.....that is 2 days+2 additional days and paid 16so X+2Y=16_______(2)by solving (1) & (2) we getX=10 and Y=3that is fixed charge for days is $10 and additional charge for each day is $3......thats it...If u want fixed charge for one day.....divide fixed charge with 2=>$5 per each fixed day.
