Question 942136: A theater group made appearances in two cities. The hotel charge before tax in the second city was $500 lower than in the first. The tax in the first city was 6.5%, and the tax in the second city was 9.5%. The total hotel tax paid for the two cities was $512.50. How much was the hotel charge in each city before tax?
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x = hotel bill in first city, before tax (dollars)
y = hotel bill in second city, before tax (dollars)
---
y = x - 500
0.065x + 0.095y = 512.50
---
put the system of linear equations into standard form
---
x - y = 500
0.065x + 0.095y = 512.50
---
copy and paste the above standard form linear equations in to this solver:
