Question

Mrs.Marks paid $125 to have her hair colored and cut. If she tips her hairdresser 12% . What’s her total ?

Answer 1

$140

Explanation:

The total before the 12% tip is $125

To find 12% of $125, we will change 12% to a decimal, 0.12

0.12 * 125=15

15$ is the tip.

125+15=140

$140 is her total

Answer 2

her total is $140

Explanation:

turn 12% into a decimal (0.12) then multiply that by the amount she paid (125*0.12) that gives you 15. then add 15 to 125 to get the total amount ($140)

hope this helps!
