In the Classroom
Six ways to use it
Earning money
Find pay per hour and per day from a week’s total — a real job-earning skill.
Multiplying money
A fare is a rate per mile times the miles — money multiplication in context.
Making change
Subtract the fare from the cash given to find the change.
Percent of a number
A tip is a percent of the fare — the everyday percent skill.
Working backward
Some problems give the total and ask for the rate, the fare, or the change.
Multi-step problems
Fare plus tip and total-paid problems take two steps to solve.
What It Teaches
Money skills students build
A taxi-driver job is a friendly frame for real earning-money math. Students find pay per hour and per day, multiply a rate per mile by the miles to get a fare, make change, take a percent tip, and work backward from a total — a full mix of multiplication, division, subtraction, and percents. Pair this with the sales commissions and charity walk-a-thon generators for more earning-money practice.
- Find pay per hour and per day
- Work out a fare (rate per mile × miles)

Common Questions
Earning Money Word Problems FAQ
Do I need a membership to use this generator?
Yes — the generator is a full Money Instructor membership feature (the paid plan, not a free account). Full members can make and print unlimited worksheets with answer keys. The page itself is free to read.
What does the worksheet look like?
A numbered list of taxi-driver word problems with a line for each answer, plus an optional answer key. Each problem has different names and numbers.
What kinds of problems does it make?
Eight templates: pay per hour, pay per day, the fare for a trip, making change, a percent tip, the total paid (fare plus tip), and two reverse problems (the charge per mile and the fare from the change).
Can I control the difficulty?
Yes. Basic uses the earning, fare, change, and reverse problems. The higher level adds the percent tip and total paid problems.
Are the answers exact?
Yes. The pay is a clean hourly wage times the hours and days, and a fare is a clean rate times the miles, so pay per hour, pay per day, fares, and change are all exact. A tip is a percent of the fare rounded to the nearest cent, just like a real tip.
Is there an answer key?
Yes. Keep Include answer key on and the tool prints every answer. Set Number of worksheets up to 5 for different versions.
