Answer:
First city: $5,500
Second city: $5,000
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's define x as the hotel price in the first city and y the hotel price in the second city. We can start with this equation:
y = x - 500 (The hotel before tax in the 2nd city was $500 lower than in the 1st.)
Then we can say
0.065x + 0.045y = 582.50 (the sum of the tax amounts were $582.50)
We place the value of y from the first equation in the second equation:
0.065x + 0.045 (x - 500) = 582.50
0.065x + 0.045x - 22.50 = 582.50 (simplifying and adding 22.5 on each side)...
0.11x = 605
x = 5,500
The cost of the first hotel was $5,500
Thus, the cost of the second hotel was $5,000 (x - 500)
So, the subtraction looks like this:
223
-119
_______
The reason why combining place values here is necessary is that 3 is less than 9 (so I can't just substract in the one's place without going to negative numbers)
so we combine the ones and tens places and substract the whole: 23-19 is four!
223
-119
_______
04
and then we continue
223
-119
_______
204
and that's the result!

Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
I would say B because if only 30 people said water and there is 65 that said something then it would almost be half of what you started with
$1.08
you would multiply your cost (1.00) by 8% which is equivalent to .08 and then add to to the original cost. or to skip the middle step just multiply it by 1.08 since you are adding the 8% to 100% of the original cost
