Four people shared a taxi to the airport.
The fare was $36.00, and they gave the driver a tip equal to 25 percent of the fare.
If they equally shared the cost of the fare and tip, how much did each person pay?
:
c = cost for each person
:
c = %2836+%2B+.25%2836%29%29%2F4
c = %2836+%2B+9%29%2F4
c = %2845%29%2F4
c = $11.25 each
:
:
Check 4(11.25) = $45
