Question

Leigh charges $25 for a haircut. She pays $75 per day to the owner of the business. If she does 12 haircuts during the day, how much does she earn after expenses? Choose the correct solution to this problem.

Answer 1

After-expenses income is:

($25/haircut)(12 haircuts) - $75 rent = net earnings

$300 - $75 = $225 These are Leigh's net earnings.

Answer 2

75 take away every day

12 haircuts done in one day
