Earyn owns French Twist Hair Salon. She charges $35 for a cut an $120 for a cut and color combo. Yesterday she had seven clients
and earned $500. Let x represent only the clients that got a cut and y represent the clients that got a cut and color combo. Which of the following equations could be used to represent this situation.
35x + 120x = 500 This is the correct equation because: x represents the clients that got a cut (at a cost of 35) So the total profit she earned from just the cuts is 35 times the number of people for a cut y represents the clients that got a cut and color (120) So the total profit she earned from the cut/color is 120 times the # of people for cut/color It is equal to $500 because thats how much Earyn earned! I hope this helped
