Question

A cab ride from the airport to your home costs $19.50. If you want to tip the cab driver close to 10 percent of the fare, how much should you tip?

Answer 1

Do 19.5 multiplied by 0.10 to get 1.95$ as a 10% rip

Answer 2

You should tip around $1.95

Explanation:

Percentage represents a given amount as a fraction in 100 equal parts.

You have to find 10% of $19.50

So, you should make the following operation:

• 100% is $19.5

• 10% is x

Then you do rule of three:

`x=((10*19.5))/(100) =1.95`

10 percent of the fare is 1.95
