Question

mr. grover stayed in a hotel for two days. the room rent was rupees 3,500 per d\y. he also had to pay a luxury tax of 7 percentage on the room rent. how much did he pay in all for two days stay

Answer 1

Given,
Number of days Mr Grover stayed in the hotel = 2 days
Rent of hotel per day = Rs 3,500
Amount = rent per day * number of days
             = 3500*2
             = Rs 7,000
Luxury tax rate = 7% charged on room rent
Luxury tax = Luxury tax rate% of room rent 
                  = 7 / 100 * 7000
(Tax is always charged on the total amount and not on rate)
                  = Rs 490
Amount payable = Amount + Tax charged
                           = 7000 + 490
                           = Rs 7490   
 

Answer 2

Solution :-

Room rent for 1 day = Rs. 3500

Room rent for 2 days = 3500*2

= Rs. 7000

Rate of luxury tax = 7 %

Total amount paid by Mr. Grover = Rs. 7000 + (7000*7)/100

⇒ Rs. 7000 + 490

= Rs. 7490

So, he paid Rs. 7490 in all for 2 days stay.
