Estimate a taxi fare from base, distance, waiting time and tip.
The meter builds a fare from a fixed base charge plus distance and waiting components. Adding a tip as a percentage of that subtotal gives the full amount to pay. Estimating a fare in advance avoids overpaying or being surprised, and separating the tip keeps the math transparent.
