Answer 1

To estimate the total cost of a haircut at the barbershop including sales tax and a 20% tip, follow these steps:

1. Calculate the sales tax on the haircut:

   • Sales tax = 6% of $28
   • Sales tax = 0.06 × 28 = $1.68

2. Calculate the total cost including sales tax:

   • Total cost = Haircut price + Sales tax
   • Total cost = $28 + $1.68 = $29.68

3. Calculate the tip:

   • Tip = 20% of the haircut price
   • Tip = 0.20 × 28 = $5.60

4. Calculate the total cost including the tip:

   • Total with tip = Total cost + Tip
   • Total with tip = $29.68 + $5.60 = $35.28

Now rounding to the nearest reasonable estimate from the given options, the closest estimate is $35.62.

Therefore, the best response is: $35.62.
