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.
