Question

Christian got a haircut yesterday afternoon. If the hair stylist charged $18 and Christian gave a 20% tip, how much did he pay for the haircut?
A.
$3.60

B.
$14.40

C.
$21.60

D.
$22.60

Answer 1

To calculate the total amount Christian paid for the haircut, we need to find the tip amount and add it to the original haircut cost.

1. Calculate the tip:

   • The cost of the haircut = $18
   • Tip percentage = 20%
   • Tip amount = 20% of $18 = 0.20 * 18 = $3.60

2. Calculate the total cost:

   • Total cost = Cost of haircut + Tip amount
   • Total cost = $18 + $3.60 = $21.60

Therefore, the answer is C. $21.60.
