Question

Celeste wants to have her hair cut and permed and also go to lunch she knows she will need $95. the perm costs twice as much as her haircut and she needs 5$ for lunch. how much does the perm cost

Answer 1

Let the haircut cost "x" dollars, Then perm costs "2x" dollars, and 5 dollars for lunch.
now here's the solution:
x + 2x + 5 = 95
3x = 90
x = 30 (haircut)
so 2x = 60 (which is the cost of the perm)

Hope this helps!
