Sam Seller pays a local club $40 a month. Each week he has dinner for a flat fee of $20.00. Sam takes a cab, which charges him $
1.75 for the first half-mile and $1.00 for each mile after that. The club is 5.5 miles from Sam's home, and he tips the driver $5.00 when he gets home. What does this meal cost Sam? (Don't forget the club membership for that week.)
The answer is 10.2. Since it's a percentage, you move the decimal two places to the left which gives you 0.12. Then, you multiply that by 85 and you get 10.2.
