Answer 2

Given: Cost of hotel room$= 325$

tax on the hotel room$=10.5\%$

To find:

Total cost of the room.

Solution:

Know that the total cost of the hotel room will be the room cost plus the tax levied on it.

Find the total cost of the room.

Total cost of the room$=325+\[\left( {\frac{{10.5}}{{100}} \times 325} \right)\]$

                                    $\[\begin{array}{l} = 325 + \left( {0.105 \times 325} \right)\\ = 325 + 34.125\\ = \ 359.125\end{array}\]$

Hence, the total cost of the hotel room is $359.125$.
