Question

Trevor and his family rented 2 hotel rooms while they were on vacation. The rooms cost them $375, excluding 7% tax. What was the total cost of the hotel rooms?

Answer 1

the answer is 401.25

Answer 2

The total cost of the hotel rooms was $401.25.

Explanation:

Rooms = $375 + 7% tax

Convert 7% to a decimal:

7% = 0.07

Multiply the cost by the tax:

$375 × 0.07

$26.25

Add the tax to the cost:

$375 + $26.25

$401.25
