Q. Ming took a cab across town. His fare was $22 \$ 22 , and he leaves an 18% 18 \% tip.\newlineWhat is the total amount Ming pays the cab driver?\newline$ \$
  1. Calculate Tip Amount: Calculate the amount of the tip by finding 1818% of the fare.\newlineTo find 1818% of $22\$22, we multiply 2222 by 0.180.18 (since 1818% is the same as 0.180.18 in decimal form).\newlineTip = 22×0.1822 \times 0.18\newlineTip = $3.96\$3.96
  2. Add Tip to Total: Add the tip to the original fare to find the total amount Ming pays.\newlineTotal amount = Original fare + Tip\newlineTotal amount = $22\$22 + $3.96\$3.96\newlineTotal amount = $25.96\$25.96
  3. Check Calculations: Check the calculations for any mathematical errors.\newlineOriginal fare: $22\$22 (no calculation needed)\newlineTip calculation: 22×0.18=$3.9622 \times 0.18 = \$3.96 (correct)\newlineTotal amount: $22+$3.96=$25.96\$22 + \$3.96 = \$25.96 (correct)
