Question

Find the total cost of a $32 Uber ride with a 15% tip. Round to the nearest cent when necessary

Answer 1

$36.80

Explanation:

Cost of Uber ride = $32

Tip = 15%

$\begin{gathered} \text{Tip Amount = }15\text{ \% }\times\text{ \ 32} \\ \text{Tip Amount = 0.15 }\times\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}$
