Question 332178: celeste wants to have her hair cut and permed and also go to lunch. she knows she will need 95.00 dollars, the perm cost twice as much as her haricut and she needs 5.00 dollars for lunch. How much does the perm cost? Answer by texttutoring(324) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! You can immediately subtract the $5 for lunch, to find that the haircut and perm will cost a total of $90. You know that the perm costs twice as much as the haircut.
Let x = cost of haircut
Let 2x = cost of perm
x + 2x = 90
3x = 90
x = 30
Perm: 2x = 60
So the haircut is $30, the perm is $60, and the lunch is $5.
