Question

Dave rented a limousine for his wife's birthday. The hourly rate is $80. They used the limousine for 4 hours, plus Dave gave the driver a 10% tip. How much did he spend in total for the hourly charges plus tip?

Answer 1

To calculate the total amount Dave spent on the limousine, we need to first calculate the hourly charges and then add the tip.

1. **Calculate the hourly charges:**
\[
\text{Hourly rate} = 80 \text{ dollars/hour}
\]
\[
\text{Hours used} = 4 \text{ hours}
\]
\[
\text{Total hourly charges} = \text{Hourly rate} \times \text{Hours used} = 80 \times 4 = 320 \text{ dollars}
\]

2. **Calculate the tip:**
\[
\text{Tip percentage} = 10\%
\]
\[
\text{Tip} = \text{Total hourly charges} \times \text{Tip percentage} = 320 \times 0.10 = 32 \text{ dollars}
\]

3. **Calculate the total amount spent:**
\[
\text{Total spent} = \text{Total hourly charges} + \text{Tip} = 320 + 32 = 352 \text{ dollars}
\]

Thus, the total amount Dave spent is **$352**.
