• D. $1.08(99.95+5)x$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $1.08\left(99.95x\right)+5$

The total charge that Aaron will pay is the room rate and the $8\%$ tax on the room rate and a fixed fee of $\$5.00$.
If Aaron stayed $x$ nights, then the total charge is
$=(99.95x+0.08\times 99.95x)+5$
$=1.08\left(99.95x\right)+5$
Hence, the choice B is correct
