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 3%, and the tax in the second city was 7.5% . The total hotel tax paid for the two cities was $487.50. How much was the hotel charge in each city before tax?
