Answer:
The price of the room before taxes was $225.
Step-by-step explanation:
Total amount charged = $279
Taxes = 24%
Let the price of the room before taxes be = x
We get the equation:
[tex]x+0.24x=279[/tex] (original price plus tax on original price=total price)
[tex]1.24x=279[/tex]
x = 225
Hence, the price of the room before taxes was $225.
