Case contract

Cents throughout. Surge (tenths) multiplies only base+distance+time, rounded half up. A percentage promo discounts the surged amount (floor), capped at promo cap cents. The booking fee is added after the discount. Tax (basis points, rounded half up) applies to surged - discount + booking fee; tolls and airport fees are passed through untaxed and unsurged.

Why this case matters

Ride-hailing prices are computed per trip at scale; ordering, unit and boundary slips become systematic over- or under-charging.
