Question

Yuko added a 15 percent tip when she paid her cab driver. If the fare was $25.50, what was the total amount she paid?

A: $28
B: $30
C: $31

I came up with $29.32 but I'm not sure why there isn't an answer choice for $29. I'm not sure whether I should choose A or B.

Answer 1

how did you get 29$?

Answer 2

I did $25.50 x 0.15 which equals 3.825. Then I added 25.50 plus 3.825 which equals 29.325

Answer 3

25.50*1.15 = 29.325

Answer 4

lool basically gave you the same answer you got.

Answer 5

that's what I thought the answer was, but they don't have a choice for $29.

Answer 6

oh well just. YOLO

Answer 7
