Answer:

  • $5000 in the first city
  • $4000 in the second city

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the pre-tax hotel charge in the first city in dollars. Then the hotel charge in the second city is x-1000 dollars, and the total tax is ...

... 7.5%·x +5%·(x -1000) = 575

... 12.5%·x = 625 . . . . simplify, add 50

... x = 5000 . . . . . . . . divide by 12.5% (=0.125)

The first-city charge was $5000; the second-city charge was $4000.

9.2 x 13.8 = 126.96, now usually to get the area of a triangle we would half this but because we have two of the same triangle we would then have to double it again so they cancel each other out. We then do 6.9 x 9.2 which equals 63.48 and again we have two of the same triangle so no need to half it. So we add the two totals of 126.96 and 63.48 together to get 190.44.

PLEASE HELP!!! ASAP The function graphed approximates the height of a rock, in meters, x seconds after it falls from a cliff
nasty-shy [4]

The vertical numbers are the distance and the horizontal numbers are the time in seconds.

Look at where the line is located at the number 20.

It si between the 2 and the 3 on the horizontal line, but you can see it is closer to the 2 than it is the 3, so the time would be 2.2s
