Question

The Hair Care Salon charges a stylist $30 per day to rent a station at the salon. Rhonda, a stylist,

makes $10.50 on each haircut. Write an equation and solve to help her decide how many haircuts
she must give in one day to make $138 after paying rent for her station.

Answer 1

138=10.50x-30

Rearrange the formula to solve for x

x= (138-30)/10.50

Solve for x

x= 10.29 haircuts

Answer 2

add 30 to 138 to get 168 then divide 168 by 10.5 u get 16
