Atheater group made appearances in two cities. the hotel charge before tax in the second city was $ 500 lower than in the first. the tax in the first city was 3.5 % , and the tax in the second city was 7.5 % . the total hotel tax paid for the two cities was $ 540 . how much was the hotel charge in each city before tax?

stew reads at the fastest rate of 265 words per minute.

step-by-step explanation:

it's a given that felicia reads at 260 word per minute and on connie's graph we can see that she reads 200 words per minute. since stew's table tells us that he read 795 in 3 minutes, we can divide 795 by 3 to find out how many words he reads per minute.

795/3 = 265

stew reads 265 words per minute - he reads at the fastest rate since felecia reads at 260 words per minute and connie reads at 200 words per minute.

stew (265) > felecia (260) > connie (200)
