Question

Marty booked a hotel room that cost $225.00. Sales tax on the room was 12%. What was the total cost of the hotel including tax?

Answer 1

252.00

Explanation:

tax = 12% × cost

tax = 12/100 × 225

tax = 0.12 × 225

tax = 27

The tax was $27

then you ->

total cost = cost + tax

total cost = 225 + 27

total cost = 252

Answer 2

First, find the tax
tax = 12% × cost
tax = 12/100 × 225
tax = 0.12 × 225
tax = 27
The tax was $27

Second, add the cost and tax together to find the total cost
total cost = cost + tax
total cost = 225 + 27
total cost = 252

The total cost was $252.00
