Colby took a taxi from the airport to his hotel in the city. His fare was $ 65.70 and he tipped the driver $ 4.00. How much change did Colby get back if he gave the driver a​ $100 bill?

Question

Colby received change in the amount of ​$

Answer 1

To find out how much change Colby received, we first need to calculate the total amount he paid the driver, which includes the fare and the tip.

Total amount paid:

• Fare: $65.70
• Tip: $4.00

Total amount paid = Fare + Tip
Total amount paid = $65.70 + $4.00 = $69.70

Now, Colby gave the driver a $100 bill. To find the change he received, we subtract the total amount paid from the amount he gave:

Change = Amount given - Total amount paid
Change = $100.00 - $69.70 = $30.30

So, Colby received change in the amount of $30.30.
