Question

Original price of a hotel: $240.00 per night.

You are staying four nights because then you get a 25% discount.
State and local taxes and 'resort fee' add up to a 29% surcharge.
How much will you pay for four nights?​

Answer 1

$ 929

Explanation:

Given: Original price of stay in hotel= $240 per night

Discount= 25%

Total taxes and fee = 29%

Now, finding the price of stay for four night.

Using unitary method to solve:

As we know original price of hotel stay per night is $240

∴ Price of four night stay at original price is
`240* 4 = \$ 960`

Next, 25% discount given on the price of four night stay.

∴
`960 - (25)/(100) * 960 = 960 - 240`

=
`\$ 720`

∴Price of four night hotel stay after discount is
`\$ 720`

Now, 29% taxes and fees been added to the price.

Price of hotel stay after discount + Taxes paid.

`720 + ( (29)/(100) * 720) = 720 + 209`

=
`\$ 929`

∴
`\$ 929` is the price to be paid for four night stay at hotel after discount and taxes.
