A hair stylist offers haircuts and hair coloring to his customers. A haircut costs $18 and hair coloring costs $42. Yesterday, the hair stylist had 12 customers and earned a total of $288. How many of the hair stylists customers received hair coloring yesterday

haircut =9 and hair color= 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

GIven data

let the haircut be x

and hair color be y in numbers.

so

18x+42y=2881

x+y=122

from 1

x=12-y, put this in 2, we have

18(12-y)+42y=288

216-18y+42y=288

collect like terms

24y=288-216

24y=72

divide both sides by 24

y=72/24

y=3

put y= 3 in 2

x+3= 12

x= 12-3

x=9

b

step-by-step explanation:

the total is 23.97. 0.25% is off so you have to subtracting 25% from 100% and you will get 75% if you convert it to decimal you will get 0.75. you have to find the original because the formula is % times original = total.so you have the total and the % so you just have to plug it in.

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116
