Question

A hair salon charges fixed rate of $25.00 for a haircut and then an additional $15.00 for any other services. Write a function to model cost of services there and then determine how many services you had if you were charged for $115.00

Answer 1

f(x) = 15x + 25; f(6) = 115

Explanation:

the flat rate of $25 will be the y-intercept and the slope will be $15. since u are charged $115, plug that in for f(x) and solve for x. so the right answer is

f(x) = 15x + 25; f(6) = 115

Answer 2

Fixed Cost: $25 Additional Cost: $15 per service To demonstrate how much a customer would have to pay for a trip to the salon, one can use the equation Total Cost = Fixed Cost + (Additional Cost x Number of services), or Total Cost = 25 + (15 x Number of services). If I were charged for $115, I would use the equation 115 = 25+(15xServices), and solve this to find that the number of services received was six.
