Question

The price of a shampoo, cut, and style at the hairstyling salon where you work is $18.00. You generally get a 20% tip from each customer, and the salon owner pays you 1/4 of each job's cost. On a typical day, you give shampoos, cuts, and styles to 8 customers. About how much can you expect to earn on such a day?

Answer 1

$4.5 per service x 8 = $36.00

$18.00 x 8 = $144 x 20% = $29.00

$65.00

Answer 2

You can expect $65.00 to earn on such a day.

Explanation:

The price of shampoo, cut and style = $18.00

you generally get a tip from each customer = 20% of $18.00

0.20 × 18.00 = $3.60

Salon owner pays 1/4 of each job's cost =
`(1)/(4)` of $18.00

`(1)/(4)` × 18.00 = $4.50

Total earning from each customer = 3.60 + 4.50 = $8.10

On a typical day, you serve 8 customers,

so the earning of each day = 8.10 × 8 = $64.80 ≈ $65.00

You can expect $65.00 to earn on such a day.
