Question

Scarlett's haircut costs $41.

As a tip, she gives the hairdresser 17% of this amount.
What is the total amount Scarlett pays for her haircut, including tip?

Answer 1

Scarlet would pay $46.80 in all.

Answer 2

$47.97

Explanation:

If Scarlett pays a 17% tip in addition to the price of the haircut, this means that she will pay 117% of the price of the haircut (as the price of the haircut = 100%).

convert percentage to decimal:

117% = 117/100 = 1.17

multiply the cost of the haircut by 1.17:

41 x 1.17 = 47.97
