Aaron is staying at a hotel that charges
$99.95 per night plus tax for a room. A
tax of 8% is applied to the room rate, and
an additional one-time untaxed fee of
$5.00 is charged by the hotel. Which of the
following represents Aaron’s total charge,
in dollars, for staying x nights?
(A) (99.95 + 0.08x) + 5
(B) 1.08(99.95x) + 5
(C) 1.08(99.95x + 5)
(D) 1.08(99.95 + 5)
Can you explain why B is the correct answer? I thought it would have been something like .08(99.95x) + 5. Where did 1.08 come from?

The total price is the original room rent plus 0.08. That's 1.08.

For one night it is .08 so when you add that together you get 1.08
