Answer: $543.7325

Step-by-step explanation:

room rate = $99.95 / night

Tax fee = 7% of room rate

Therefore, tax fee = 7% of $99.95

Tax fee = 0.07 × $99.95

Room charge =[$99.95 + 0.07($99.95)]

Room charge = 1.07($99.95) per night

Additional onetime untaxed fee = $9

Therefore for 5 nights :

Room charge = 5×[1.07($99.95)] +

Total room charge = 5×[1.07($99.95)] + one time untaxed fee

Total room charge = 5×[1.07($99.95)] + $9

= $543.7325
