Answer:

The bill for electricity is 6z=6*80=Rs 480

The bill for telephone is 16z=16*80=Rs 1280

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the ratio 6:16, we can say that:

Let the bill of electricity is 6z.

Let the bill of telephone is 16z.

Since Rs 800 are paid more for telephone:

[tex]16z=6z+ 800[/tex]

[tex]10z=800[/tex]

z=[tex]\frac{800}{10}[/tex]

z=80

So,

The bill for electricity is 6z=6*80=Rs 480

The bill for telephone is 16z=16*80=Rs 1280
