Question

The cost of cab fare is $12.00 write and solve an equation to show the total with a 13% tip add

Answer 1

13.56$

To write an equation, we need to think about what this is asking us. It's asking us to take a number and increase the total % to be 113% of the original number. This looks something like

`y = 1.13x`

Where y is amount with a tip and x is amount before a tip. To calculate for 12 dollars, we plug 12 into x and it comes out as 13.56 dollars

Hope it helps!
