Moshde runs a hairstyling business from her house. She charges $42 for a haircut and style. Her monthly expenses are $1070. She wants to be able to put at least $1,249 per month into her savings account order to open her own salon. How many "cut & styles" must she do to save at least $1,249 per month?

ANSWER:

56 cut & styles

Explanation:

They tell us that each haircut and style charges $42 and that the monthly expenses are $1070, he wants to save a total of $1249, with this information we can establish the following equation:


42x-1070=1249

Where x would be the amount of cut & styles, we solve for x:


\begin{gathered} 42x=1249+1070 \\ x=(2319)/(42) \\ x=55.2 \\ x\cong56 \end{gathered}

If you make a total of 55 cut & styles, the amount does not reach a total of $1249 per month, therefore, at least 56 cut & styles are needed, to achieve the monthly goal.
