Hint- Sum of fixed charges and additional charges of library is Rs.27
Given data: Fixed charge is $x$Rs. for the first three days. And after that per day charges are$y$Rs. But Arushi kept the book for 7 days. So, remaining day’s \[{\text{ = 7 - 3 = 4}}\]days. $\therefore $ Additional charges $ = $($4 \times $(Price for per day charge)) It is given that Arushi paid Rs. 27 for the book Now according to given condition Fixed charges $ + $ additional charges $ = $Rs.27 $\therefore $Fixed charges$ + $ ($4 \times $(Price for per day charge))$ = 27$ \[ \Rightarrow x + 4y = 27\] So, this is the required linear equation.
Note- Whenever we face such types of questions first find out the remaining days for which additional charges are applied , then according to the given condition which is written above formulate the linear equation, we will get the required linear equation representing the above information.
