Answer:

Let x = the charge in 1st city before taxes

Let y = the charge in 2nd city before taxes

 

 

Set up equation before taxes.

 

y = x - 1500        eq1

 

 

Set up equation for total tax paid.

 

0.065x + 0.06y = 378.75         eq2

 

 

Substitute eq1 into eq2.

 

0.065x + 0.06(x - 1500) = 378.75

0.065x + 0.06x - 90 = 378.75

0.125x - 90 = 378.75

0.125x = 468.75

       x = 3750

 

Substitute this value of x into eq1.

 

y = 3750 - 1500

y = 2250

 

 

The hotel charge in city one is $3750 and the hotel charge in city two is $2250

Elis [28]
An expression is like an equation, but without an equal sign.

Therefore, you could say...

14 stones + 6 stones

or just...

14 + 6

Volume of a sphere and a cone

We have that the equation of the volume of a sphere is given by:

V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3

We have that the radius of a sphere is half the diameter of it:

Then, the radius of this sphere is

r = 6cm/2 = 3cm

<h2>Finding the volume of a sphere</h2>

We replace r by 3 in the equation:

\begin{gathered} V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3 \\ \downarrow \\ V=\frac{4}{3}\pi\cdot3^3 \end{gathered}

Since 3³ = 3 · 3 · 3 = 27

\begin{gathered} V=\frac{4}{3}\pi3^3 \\ \downarrow \\ V=\frac{4}{3}\pi\cdot27 \end{gathered}

If we use π = 3.14:

\begin{gathered} V=\frac{4}{3}\pi\cdot27 \\ \downarrow \\ V=\frac{4}{3}\cdot3.14\cdot27 \\ \downarrow \\ V=4.18\bar{6}\cdot27 \end{gathered}

Rounding the first factor to the nearest hundredth (two digits after the decimal), we have:

4.18666... ≅ 4.19

Then, we have that:

\begin{gathered} V=\frac{4}{3}\pi\cdot27 \\ \downarrow \\ V=4.19\cdot27 \\ =113.13 \end{gathered}

Then, we have that:

<h2>Finding the volume of a cone</h2>

We have that the volume of a cone is given by:

V=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h

where r is the radius of its base and h is the height:

Then, in this case

r = 3

h = 6

and

π = 3.14

Replacing in the equation for the volume:

\begin{gathered} V=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h \\ \downarrow \\ V=\frac{1}{3}\cdot3.14\cdot3^2\cdot6 \end{gathered}

Then, we have:

3² = 9

\begin{gathered} V=\frac{1}{3}\cdot3.14\cdot3^2\cdot6 \\ \downarrow \\ V=\frac{1}{3}\cdot3.14\cdot9\cdot6 \\ V=\frac{1}{3}\cdot3.14\cdot54 \\ V=56.52 \\  \end{gathered}

Answer: the volume of the cone that has the same circular base and height is 56.52 cm³
