A: If you've been staying in a motel for a little over three months at a rate of $90 per day, calculating the total amount spent before taxes is the first step. To find this, multiply the daily rate by the number of days you have stayed.

The tax rate applied to your motel stay can vary based on the location. Different cities, counties, and states have different tax rates for lodging. Typically, this information can be found on your bill, or you can ask the motel management for the specific tax rate applicable to your stay.

Once you know the tax rate, apply it to the total amount spent to find out how much you have paid in taxes. If you're unsure about the calculations or the tax rate, you can contact the local tax authority or ask the motel staff for assistance. They should provide you with all the necessary details regarding your stay and the taxes applied.
