A theater group made appearances in two cities. The hotel charge before tax in the second city was $ 1500 higher than in the first. The tax in the first city was 5 % , and the tax in the second city was 8.5 % . The total hotel tax paid for the two cities was $ 836.25 . How much was the hotel charge in each city before tax?

In city one, the hotel charges before taxes were $5,250.

In city two, the hotel charges before taxes were $6,750.

...[1]

The tax in the first city was 5 %, and the tax in the second city was 8.5 %.

The total hotel tax paid for the two cities was $ 836.25

5% of x + 8.5% of y = $836.25

...[2]

Now putting value of y from [1] in to [2]:

On solving we get :

x = $5,250

Using vakue of x in [1] to find y:

In city one, the hotel charges before taxes were $5,250.

In city two, the hotel charges before taxes were $6,750.
