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)

Scrat [10]

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

Michael must find the smallest number possible that can divide 60 and 45 then take the two quotients after dividing the 2 types of cookies by the smallest number possible.

2 is not possible as 45 is an odd number

3 can divide both 60 and 45

60/3 = 20 oatmeal cookies in each container.

45/3 = 15 chocolate chip cookies in each container.

Alborosie

Answer:

yes they both are wrong

Step-by-step explanation:

Center of the Circle is (h,I) which is (4,-3)

so h= 4 and k = -3

radius is 4 units (3+1)

Equation for circle

(x - h) {}^{2}  + (y - k) {}^{2}  = r {}^{2}

substitute all the values in this equation

(x  - 4) { }^{2}  + (y - ( - 3)) {}^{2}  = 4 {}^{2}  \\ (x - 4) {}^{2}  + (y + 3) {}^{2}  = 16
