You are charged $279 on your credit card for a hotel stay, you call to complain about the
unexpectedly high charge, but are told there are a total of 24% taxes for hotel rooms where you
stayed. what was the advertised price of the room before taxes?

Hey User

here is your answer...!!!

The total cost of the hotel = $279

The taxes included of 24 %

Thus to get original price of the hotel

24% of 279 = 66.96

Thus the amount of taxes is $66.96

thus the original price is $279 - $66.96 = $212.04

Thus the cost is $212.04
