    Answer: The correct answer is $54,000 and $8,200

    Explanation:

    First, we have to calculate the taxes (the tax rate is 15%)

    October : $100,000 * (15/100) = $15,000

    November: $110,000 * (15/100) = $16,500

    December : $150,000 * (15/100) = $22,500

    Total SalesTaxes $54,000

    Second, we calculate occupancy taxes (2$ per night)

    October: (number of nights) 1100*$ 2 = $2,200

    November: (number of nights) 1200*$ 2 = $2,400

    December: (number of nights) 1800*$ 2 = $3,600

    Total Occupancy taxes $8200
