Question

A one-night stay at the Great Wolf Lodge is $249. If you have a coupon for 10% off the room rate and sales tax is 12.75%, find the total cost for one night.

Answer 1

Answer:

$252.68

Step-by-step explanation:

Find 12.75% of 249 by using formula T= A + (A•I/100)

T=249+(249•12.75)/100)= 31.75 (taxes)

Then add taxes to room cost;

249+31.75= 280.75

Then you’d apply the coupon of 10% by using; Discount = Original Price x Discount %/100

Discount = 10% or 10/100=0.1

Discount = 280.75 x 0.1

= $28.08

Now you’d find the final price by;

Final Price = Original Price - Discount

Final Price = 280.75 - 28.075

Final Price = $252.68

Answer 2

Answer:

The total cost for one night is $252.67

Step-by-step explanation:

We would first add 12.75% of 249 which is $31.75:

$249 + $31.75 = $280.75

Then we would take off 10% of $280.75 which is $28.08:

$280.75 - $28.08 = $252.67
