$0.24
$1
$3
$8

Answer 1

C. $3.

Explanation:

We have been given that a cab ride from your home to the airport cost $23.47. You want to tip the cab driver close to 10 percent of the fare. We are asked to find the amount of tip.

To find the amount of tip, we need to figure out 10% of $23.47.

`\text{Amount of tip}=(10)/(100)* \$23.47`

`\text{Amount of tip}=0.10* \$23.47`

`\text{Amount of tip}=\$2.347`

Upon looking at our given choices we can see that $3 is closest to our answer, therefore, you should tip an amount of $3 to the cab driver and option C is the correct choices.

Answer 2

Option C is correct

$3 much should you tip

Explanation:

As per the statement:

A cab ride from your home to the airport cost $23.47

⇒Cost = $23.47

It is also given that if you want to tip the cab driver close to 10 percent of the fare

`\text{You tip}  = 10 \% * 23.47`

⇒
`\text{You tip} = (10)/(100) * 23.47 = 2.347 \approx \$ 3`

therefore, $3 much should you tip
