Question

Jeremy is paid $18 and an 18%

tip for every haircut he gives.
How much does he make if he
gives one haircut?

Answer 1

$21.24

Step-by-step explanation:

He is paid $18 and an 18% tip for each haircut

So amount paid for haircut = $18

And amount paid in tip = 18% of 18 = $3.24

So total amount paid for 1 haircut = $18 + $3.24 = $21.24

Answer 2

Answer: $21.24

Step-by-step explanation:

This means that Jemery is paid the original cost and the tip added together. The original is 100%, so we will do the following:

100% + 18% = 118%

To answer the question, we will find 118% of $18. A percent divided by 100 becomes a decimal.

118% / 100 = 1.18

$18 * 1.18 = $21.24

He will make $21.24 for one haircut.
