Question

Ming took a cab across town. His fare was $22 and he leaves an 18%, percent tip. What is the total amount Ming pays the cab driver?

Answer 1

Ming pays $25.96 to the cab driver.

Explanation:

Ming took a cab across town, his fare of cab = $22.00

He leaves a tip of 18% of total fare = 18% of $22.00

Total amount = (18% of $22) + $22.00

(
`(18)/(100)` × 22) + 22.00

= (0.18 × 22) + 22.00

= 3.96 + 22.00

= $25.96

Ming pays $25.96 to the cab driver.
