Question

Can someone help me out fast!?!?!

Trying to get better at doing word problems like this is would help a lot.

Mandy made $480 in her salon in one day. She charges $78 per appointment and earned $90 in tips. Write an equation to represent this situation and solve the equation to determine how many appointments Mandy had.

Answer 1

he had made 5 appointment

Explanation:

$78x + $90 = $480

$78x=$480-$90

x=$790÷$78

x=5 ans

Answer 2

Explanation:

Let's assume that Mandy had x appointments in one day.

According to the problem statement, she charges $78 per appointment, so the total amount earned from appointments can be represented as 78x.

She also earned $90 in tips, so the total amount earned in the day can be represented as 78x + 90.

We know that the total amount earned in the day was $480, so we can set up the equation:

78x + 90 = 480

Subtracting 90 from both sides gives:

78x = 390

Dividing both sides by 78 gives:

x = 5

Therefore, Mandy had 5 appointments in one day.
