Question

Ann stays in a hotel for Rs. $100$ per night. She stays for three nights and pays a sales tax of $12\%$. How much did she pay?

• A. $12$
• B. $24$
• C. $36$
• D. $48$

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

$36$

Per night charge of hotel is Rs. $100$.

Three nights stay would be then $=3\times 100=300$
Sales tax $=12\%$ on Rs. $300$
$=$ $\frac{12}{100}\times 300$
$=36$

Therefore, tax paid by Ann is Rs. $36$.
