He purchases an airline ticket for $69. There is a 15% sales tax on the price of the airline ticket.
In addition, he must pay a baggage fee of $20. When he arrives at the airport, Clovis takes a taxi to his uncle's house which is 8 miles from the airport. The taxi is 2.50 per mile.
We have to determine,
If Clovis has spent a total of 123.35 for the airline ticket and taxi, at what percent of his fare did Clovis tip the taxi driver.
According to the question,
Total paid amount 123.35 for the airline ticket and taxi,
He purchases an airline ticket for $69. There is a 15% sales tax on the price of the airline ticket.
[tex]= 69 \times \dfrac{15}{100}\\\\= 10.35[/tex]
The total amount without tip is,
[tex]=10.35+ 69 + 20 +8(2.50)\\\\= 119.35[/tex]
The amount for the tips,
[tex]123.35-119.35 = 4[/tex]
