Q. Ming took a cab across town. His fare was $22, and he leaves an 18% tip.What is the total amount Ming pays the cab driver?$
Calculate Tip Amount: Calculate the amount of the tip by finding 18% of the fare.To find 18% of $22, we multiply 22 by 0.18 (since 18% is the same as 0.18 in decimal form).Tip = 22×0.18Tip = $3.96
Add Tip to Total: Add the tip to the original fare to find the total amount Ming pays.Total amount = Original fare + TipTotal amount = $22 + $3.96Total amount = $25.96
Check Calculations: Check the calculations for any mathematical errors.Original fare: $22 (no calculation needed)Tip calculation: 22×0.18=$3.96 (correct)Total amount: $22+$3.96=$25.96 (correct)
