How much would Kari pay? How many haircuts would that be? would pay to either salon she performedhaircuts

Answer 1

Let x be the number of haircuts Kari performs in a month.

At The Riverside Salon:
Cost = $534

At the franchise:
Cost = $3 per haircut

Setting the costs equal to each other:

$534 = $3x

Dividing both sides by $3:

x = 178

Therefore, Kari would pay $534 and perform 178 haircuts in a month.
