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)
Step-by-step explanation:
1st
8x-59 + 2x-11 = 180
10x -70 = 180
10x = 180 + 70
10x = 250
x = 25
2nd
8x - 59 = 15y + 6
8(25) -59 = 15y + 6
200 -59 = 15y + 6
141 = 15y + 6
15y + 6 = 141
15y = 141 - 6
15y = 135
y = 135/15
y = 9
The area formula for rectangles is lxw. To solve, I would divide the figure up into 3 rectangles- top,middle and bottom, then find the areas and add them together.
Top: 4x13=52 cm^2
Middle: 5x8=40 cm^2
Bottom: 21x10=210 cm^2
(5 is the width of the middle piece. You get it from subtracting. 21-8-8=5. 13 is the width of the top piece. 5+8=13)
52+40+210
=302 cm^2
So your answer is 302 square centimetres.
