If you greet someone who is much older than you, how do you ask “How are you?” in Spanish?
• ¿Cómo estás?
• ¿Cómo está usted?
• ¿Y tú?
• ¿Qué tal?

Como esta usted is the most formal.

That is correct! "¿Cómo está usted?" is the most respectful and formal way of asking "How are you?" in Spanish, especially when speaking to someone who is much older than you or to someone you don't know well.
