The total cost for 80 students on a class trip to stay at a hotel for 1 night was $4600

before tax. The hotel tax is 13%. What is the cost for one student to stay one night
at the hotel, including tax?

4,600 / 80 = 57.5 (How much for one student)

What is 13% of 57.5? 7.475. (How much tax is)

So, 57.5 + 7.475 = 64.975. (How much one student is with tax)
