Questions: Estimating with Percents Assignment Active Estimating Gratuity Hector paid 68 for a taxi ride. This driver has a sign above his mirror that recommends a 20% tip. Estimate the amount the driver expects to be tipped to the nearest dollar.

Solution Steps

To estimate the tip amount, calculate 20% of the total taxi fare. This involves multiplying the total fare by 0.20. Finally, round the result to the nearest dollar to get the estimated tip amount.

To find the estimated tip, we calculate 20% of the taxi fare of \$68. This can be expressed mathematically as: \[ \text{Tip} = 0.20 \times 68 \]

Calculating the above expression gives: \[ \text{Tip} = 0.20 \times 68 = 13.6 \]

Rounding \(13.6\) to the nearest dollar results in: \[ \text{Estimated Tip} = 14 \]
