Kelly works at her own nail salon. Today, she did 12 manicures and received $48.00 overall in tips. If x represents the cost of each manicure, which of the following equations can be used to find the total amount of money she earned, including tips, for her nail salon today? A. y = 12x + 48 B. y = 48x + 12 C. y = 48(x + 12) D. y = 12(x + 48)

Do you have any thoughts?

idk

Okay, so you are going to have some price y that is how much she made total. Then she is going to have the number of manicures performed multiplied by the price per manicure. Then added onto that, you have the tips she earned. Are there any that look similar to that.

A I think

I would tend to agree.

Okay I say A. because y would represent the entire equation and X. would represent the cost of each manicure so 12 manicure and 12 multiplied by X=cost of each manicure you would write 12x then the total which is 48.00 so the most reasonable choice to be is A=12x=48
