Answer 1

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:

Ming pays the $25.96 to cab driver

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

the fare of the car =  $22

Percentage of tip paid by the Ming = 18%

To Find:

Total amount Ming pays the cab driver=?

Solution:

The total amount of the tip paid by the Ming to the cab driver be x

then

x = car fare + 18% of cab fare

substituting the values we get

x = 22 + 18% of 22

x = 22 +  $\frac{18}{100} \times 22$

x = 22 +  $\frac{18}{100} \times 22$

x = 22 +  $0.18 \times 22$

x = 22 + 3.96

x = 25.96
