Question

The cost of a hotel room during Lacy’s trip is $325. The hotel room tax in the city she is in is 10.5%. What is the total cost of the hotel room?

Answer 1

$359.13

Explanation:

To find the total cost of her room we have to add the cost of the tax to the cost of the room.

To find the value of the tax, multiply the value of the room(325) by 10.5%:

Convert 10.5% to decimal form: 0.105

0.105 * 325 = 34.125

34.125 rounds up to 34.13.

Now, add the cost of the tax to the room's cost:

34.13 + 325 = 359.13

The total cost of the hotel room is $359.13.
