Respuesta :

Answer:  The correct answer is $54,000 and $8,200

Explanation:

First, we have to calculate the taxes (the tax rate is 15%)

October :      $100,000*( 15/100)=    $15,000

November:    $110,000* ( 15/100) =  $16,500

December :   $150,000 *(15/100) =  $22,500

Total SalesTaxes                              $54,000

Second, we calculate occupancy taxes (2$ per night)

October:       (number of nights)  1100*$ 2  =    $2,200

November:    (number of nights)  1200*$ 2  =  $2,400

December:    (number of nights)  1800*$ 2  =  $3,600

Total Occupancy taxes                                     $8200
