Question

Victor went to the barber to get a haircut. The haircut cost $9. Victor gave the barber a 25% tip. How much did Victor spend at the barber shop altogether?

Answer 1

He gave the barber an extra $2.25 so in all he paid $11.25

Answer 2

Answer: He spent $ 11.25 at the barber shop.

Explanation:

Here, The cost of hair cutting = $ 9,

While, the tip he gave = 25 % of the cost of hair cutting

= 25 % of 9

= 0.25 × 9

= $ 2.25

Since, Victors's total spending = The cost of hair cutting + Tip

= 9 + 2.25

= $ 11.25

Hence, He spent $ 11.25 at the barber shop.
