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)

Answer:
3/45
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the numerator, multiply the desired denominator by the fraction.
x/45 = 1/15
x = (45)(1/15) = 45/15 = 3
The equivalent fraction is 3/45.
To determine the probability that one or the other circumstances will occur, you will count the number of possible outcomes and divide it by all the possible outcomes.
#of female teaching assistants + # of male teaching assistants + # of female professors
6 + 16 + 11 = 33
Total = 41
33/41 = 80
There is a approximate 80% probability that one or the other will occur.
