A passenger takes a taxi ride that costs $\$30.00$ on the meter. The passenger wants to give the driver a $20\%$ tip. What is the total amount the passenger will pay in dollars?

Cevap: 36 dollars

Cevap

The tip is calculated by converting

20\%

to the decimal

0.20

and multiplying it by the

\$30.00

meter cost, resulting in a

\$6.00

tip. Adding this tip to the original

\$30.00

cost gives a final total payment of

\$36.00

Adım Adım Çözüm

Calculate the tip amount by finding

20\%

of the meter cost.

\$30.00 \times 0.20 = \$6.00

The tip is a percentage calculated based on the original cost of the service.

Add the tip amount to the original meter cost to find the total amount paid.

\$30.00 + \$6.00 = \$36.00

The total payment equals the original service cost plus the added tip.
