dillon pays x dollars to get a haircut. he gives the stylist a 15% tip. The expression representing the total cost is x + 0.15x

Answer 1

The expression you've provided is correct. To detail it a bit more:

1. Dillon pays \( x \) dollars for the haircut.
2. He gives a 15% tip on the cost of the haircut, which can be calculated as \( 0.15 \times x \).
3. Therefore, the total cost can be expressed as:

\[ \text{Total Cost} = \text{Cost of Haircut} + \text{Tip} = x + 0.15x \]

4. This can also be simplified:

\[ \text{Total Cost} = 1x + 0.15x = 1.15x \]

So, the total cost of the haircut including the tip is \( 1.15x \).
