Question

Tara looks up hotel room prices for a holiday.

A hotel has a 25% off sale on its prices.
A VAT charge of 20% must be added on at the end of the transaction after any discount.
If the regular price of a room is £90 per night, how much will Tara pay for 4 nights?

Answer 1

Tara has to pay £324 for 4 nights

Explanation:

Regular price of a room per night

= £90

Regular price of a room for 4 nights

= 90*4

= £360

Price of a room for 4 nights after discount

= 75% (360)

= 75/100 * 360 = 75 * 3.6

= £270

Price of the room after charging VAT

= 270 + 20%(270)

= 270 + 20/100 * 270

= 270 + 2 * 27

= 270 + 54

= £324
