Answer: The total cost of the hotel room is $235.20

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to find the total cost of the hotel room

Total cost of hotel room = Cost of hotel room for the two nights + tax

Tax = 12% Total cost = 210 + 12% of 210

Total cost = 210 + (12/100 * 210)
Total cost = 210 + 25.2
Total cost = $235.2
