A theater group made appearances in two cities. The hotel charge before tax in the second city was $500 higher than in the first. The tax in the first city was 4.5%, and the tax in the second city was 3.5% . The total hotel tax paid for the two cities was $317.50. How much was the hotel charge in each city before tax? First city: Second city:

$3750 and $4250

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 500 = y

.045x + .035y = 317.50

.045x + .035(x + 500) = 317.50

.045x + .035x + 17.5 = 317.50

.08x = 300.00

x = 3750

y = 4250

c is the final : )

part a

x     y

0     8

1     7.5

2     7

3     6.5

4     6

5     5.5  

for every hour i deducted .5 inches from the length of the candle

part b

it is a function because for every x value there is only one y value

part   c

for every x value there is only one y value

x       y

0       8
