The inn's nightly cost before tax is added is $23.54

Taxes are prices added on top of goods and services

Let the normal price be x

Price including tax = x + 0.07x (note that the tax iss 7%)

Given that Price including tax = $125.19, then;

$125.19 = x + 0.07x

Find the value of x

125.19 = 1.07x

Swap

1.07x = 125.19

x = 125.19/1.07

x = $23.54

This shows that the inn's nightly cost before tax is added is $23.54
