Question 934768: A theater group made appearances in two cities. The hotel charge before tax in the second city was $1000 lower than in the first. The tax in the first city was 9.5%, and the tax in the second city was 6.5% . The total hotel tax paid for the two cities was $695. How much was the hotel charge in each city before tax? Answer by TimothyLamb(4379) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x = hotel charge in city A before tax of 9.5%
y = hotel charge in city B before tax of 6.5%
---
y = x - 1000
0.095x + 0.065y = 695
---
put the system of linear equations into standard form
---
x - y = 1000
0.095x + 0.065y = 695
---
