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)

Anton [14]

Answer:

They will win 48 games in a 120 game season.

Step-by-step explanation:

The team won 20 games out of 50; that is a 20:50 ratio, that is equal to x:120.  x is the amount of games won in the 120 game season.

Set up the ratios like this:

\frac{20}{50} = \frac{x}{120}

cross multiply the numerators and denominators to get this:

20*120 = 50x

solve for x:

2,400 = 50x

x = 48

Pls help me ............

Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

2v ÷ e + 3

we want to find the value of the expression when v = 10 and e = 5

to do so we substitute the values into the expression

2v ÷ e + 3

==> substitute 10 for v and 5 for e

2(10) ÷ 5 + 3

We now evaluate using bpemdas

==> multiply 2 and 10

20 ÷ 5 + 3

==> divide 20 by 5

4 + 3

==> add 4 and 3

= 7
