Answer:
$175/night
Step-by-step explanation:
The charges of an inn for one night including sales tax = $189
The sales tax rate = 8%
Let the charges of the inn before adding tax be 'x' per night.
The charges of inn before tax = x + (8% × x) = 189
x + (0.08x) = 189
1.08x = 189
x = [tex]\frac{189}{1.08}[/tex]
x = $175
The charges are $175/night before tax is added
