Question

Lauren is a salon owner. Yesterday, she did 3 haircuts and colored the hair of 1 client, charging a total of $201. Today, she did 5 haircuts and colored the hair of 1 client, charging a total of $287. How much does Lauren charge for her services?

Answer 1

I gotchu!!

cut: 43$
colored: 72$

ok so first I realized that she did 2 more cuts the 2nd day, making a difference of 201 and 287 86$. so 86/2 makes each cut 43$

43 • 5 = 215, and 287 - 215 = 72. so each colred hair is 72$
