About this exercise
Make a markdown table with columns Item | Qty | Rate | Amount and rows Rooms, Meeting room, Breakfast, then a Subtotal row and a Tax row and a Total row. Use the group rates in the notes, 3 nights for rooms, and apply the tax only to the subtotal at the tax rate given. Amounts like $1,980. No bold, nothing outside the table.
Common mistakes when you ask AI for this
- Using the rack rate. The AI uses $210. Try: Add: "Use the group rate of $165."
- Forgetting nights or days. The AI multiplies rooms once. Try: Add: "Rooms x 3 nights; breakfast x 3 days."
- Tax on the wrong base. The AI taxes rooms only. Try: Add: "Tax is 8% of the subtotal."
- Bold and extras. The AI bolds the total and adds notes. Try: Add: "No bold; nothing outside the table."
