Question

Tiyauna works at a beauty salon. Last month she received an average tip of $9 from her 88

clients. What was her tip income for the month?

Answer 1

$792

Explanation:

Multiply the average tip amount ($9/client) by the number of clients (88) to obtain this person's tip income for the month:

($9/client)(88 clients) = $792

Answer 2

$792 is her total tip income for the month.

Explanation:

If there are 88 clients, and each client gives an average tip of $9, we would multiply the two to get the total tip income for the month.

88x9 = 792
