$36.80

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of Uber ride = $32

Tip = 15%


\begin{gathered} \text{Tip Amount = }15\text{ \% }*\text{ \$32} \\ \text{Tip Amount = 0.15 }*\text{ \$32} \\ \text{Tip Amount = \$4.8} \end{gathered}
\begin{gathered} \text{Total cost = cost of Uber ride + tip amount} \\ \text{Total cost = }32\text{ + \$4.8} \\ \text{Total cost = }36.8 \\ \\ \text{Total cost is \$36.80} \end{gathered}
