Question

NEED DONE BY TOMORROW MORNING!

The hair salon charges a stylist $30 per day to rent a station at the salon. Rhonda, a stylist, makes $10.50 on each haircut. Which equation will help her decide how many haircuts she must give in one day to make $ after paying rent for her station?

A. 30h - 10.5 = 138
B. 10.5 + 30 = 138
C. 30h + 10.5 = 138
D. 10.5h - 30 = 138

Lonnie got B as the correct answer. How did he get that?

Answer 1

D. 10.5h-30=138

Explanation:

I got you bro:

Lonnie is wrong. He forgot to multiply 10.5 by h, or the number of haircuts Rhonda gave. It doesn't make sense that she only gave 1 haircut. Also, he added 30, when since she is being charged, should be subtracted from the amount of money she made, or 10.5h.

Don't make the same mistake! Multiply 10.5 by h and subtract 30! Your correct answer would be d.

Hope this helps!
