Question

a hotel at your vacation destination quotes you a rate of $200/night. you find a similar hotel in town for 25 percent less. if you select the less expensive hotel, how much will you pay for a three-night stay?

Answer 1

Answer: $450

Explanation:

Since the similar hotel in town goes for 25 percent less, that means that (100.- 25) = 75% would be paid. This will be:

= 75% × $200.

= 75/100 × $200.

= $150

The amount paid for a three-night stay will be:

= $150 × 3

= $450
