Question

Carrie gave her hair stylist a $4.20 tip. The tip was 15% of the cost of the
haircut. What is the total cost of the haircut?

Answer 1

The total cost of her haircut was 28 dollars

step by step:

(percentage) 15 x 6 = 90

4.20 x 6 =25.2

(perscentage) 15 divided by 3 = 5

4.20 divided by 3 = 1.4

1.4 + 1.4 = 2.8

25.2 + 2.8 =28
