Answer:
The cost of the telegram was 1,270 shilling
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The total words-----> 44
The first ten words ----> 10
Extra words----> 44-10=34
so
The total cost is equal to
25(10)+30(34)=1,270 shilling
Let 'x' be the original price.
x + 39% of x = 197.38
x + 0.39 x = 197.38
1.39x = 197.38
x = 197.38/ 1.39
x = 142
AB=12
Hope this helps!
