Ming took a cab across town. His fare was

\[\$22\], and he leaves an
\[18\%\] tip.
What is the total amount Ming pays the cab driver?

To find the tip amount, we multiply the fare amount by the percentage tip:

\[\text{Tip amount} = \$22 \times 0.18 = \$3.96\]

To find the total amount Ming pays, we add the fare amount and the tip amount together:

\[\text{Total amount} = \$22 + \$3.96 = \$25.96\]

Therefore, the total amount Ming pays the cab driver is \$25.96.
