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
