  1. Let x be the fixed charge and y be the charge of food per day.

    According to the question,

    x + 20y = 1000……………….. (i)

    x + 26y = 1180………………..(ii)

    Subtracting (i) from (ii) we get

    6y = 180

    y = Rs.30

    Using this value in equation (ii) we get

    x = 1180 -26 x 30

    x= Rs.400.

    Therefore, fixed charges is Rs.400 and charge per day is Rs.30.
