Explanation:

Answer 2

The lodging cost of the room is $ 41.28

Explanation:

Given as :

The rate of room including taxes = $ 45

The state tax = 6 %

The city tax = 2 %

The municipal tax = 1 %

So, The total tax = 6 % + 2 % + 1 % = 9 %

Let The lodging cost = $ x

So, According to question

x + 9 % of x = $ 45

Or, x + 0.09 × x = 45

Or, 1.09 × x = 45

∴ x =
`(45)/(1.09)` = $ 41.28

Hence The lodging cost of the room is $ 41.28 Answer
