Answer 1

To find out how much the salon keeps from the basic haircuts on Saturday, follow these steps:

1. Calculate the total revenue from haircuts: \[ \text{Total Revenue} = \text{Number of Customers} \times \text{Price per Haircut} \] \[ \text{Total Revenue} = 78 \times 10.75 = 838.50 \]

2. Determine the percentage that the salon keeps: The stylist keeps 40%, which means the salon keeps: \[ 100% - 40% = 60% \]

3. Calculate the amount the salon keeps: \[ \text{Amount the salon keeps} = \text{Total Revenue} \times 0.60 \] \[ \text{Amount the salon keeps} = 838.50 \times 0.60 = 503.10 \]

So, the salon keeps $503.10 from basic haircuts on Saturday.
