Question

Explain how mental math can be used to estimate a 15% tip on a taxi ride that costs $23.25. Find the tip using that method

Answer 1

Mental math can be used to estimate a 15% tip on a taxi ride that costs $23.25 by first estimating the tip to the nearest dollar. To do this, we can round the cost of the taxi ride to the nearest dollar, which is $23. Then, 15% of $23 is $3.45. To estimate the tip to the nearest cent, we can round $3.45 to the nearest cent, which is $3.50. Therefore, the estimated tip is $3.50.

Answer 2

wow,
thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 3

do ten percent plus half of that
2.30 + 1.15 = 3.45 or 3 to the nearest $
