Question

At a tanning salon, customers are charged \$10 for their first visit in a calendar month and \$6 for each visit after that in the same calendar month. In the last calendar month, 100 customers visited the salon, of which 30 made a second visit, and 10 made a third visit. All other customers made only one visit. If those visits were the only source of revenue for the salon, what was the revenue for the last calendar month at the salon

Answer 1

The salon would've made $1,240.

Explanation:

Think of the customers as the numbers and the visits as variables. Then the equation would look something like this:

Revenue = 100(first visit) + 30(second visit) + 10(third visit)

And now, we just solve:

r = 100(10) + 30(6) + 10(6)

r = 1,000 + 180 + 60

r = $1,240
