Question

Tu's family stayed at a hotel for 10 nights on their vacation. The hotel charged a 12.4% room tax, per night. How much did they pay in room taxes if the room cost 200 Euro per night and Tu's mother brought a coupon for 6.5% off the total room charges ?

Answer 1

€ 231.88

Explanation:

The total amount Tu's family paid for the 10 nights without the coupon = 200 × 10 = € 2000

With a Tu's mum's coupon of 6.5 % off the total room charges, the amount off = 6.5/100 × 2000 = € 130

The total amount Tu's family paid for the 10 nights with the coupon = € 2000 - € 130 = € 1870

The total room tax = 12.4 % × € 1870 = € 231.88
