Lindsey and Johanna want to rent scooters with 2 other friends. Thhey have 230 dollars to spend...the sign below shows the rental rates
Rent one scooter for 12.25 dollars per HR
For groups of four or more save 3 dollars a person
All rates do not include 7% tax rate
Based on the info from the sign write and solve an equation to determine the # of hours (H) the 4 friends can rent scooters for $230
like im pretty sure i know how to do the problem but do you think they want me to add the 7% sales tax in?

Assuming they only want to spend the $230, then of course you have to figure that in! So assume that $230 is actually the price INCLUDING tax, ie $230 is 107% of the 'price', and work it out from there!

Yes, the total would include taxes so you must budget for it from the $230 starting point. Good Luck!
