Question

Simple Cuts is a hair salon that offers two types of haircuts: a buzz cut and a flat-top. Jerry charges $9 for a buzz cut and $13 for a flat-top. If Jerry made $600 one day and knows that he cut three times as many buzzes as flat-tops, how many flat-tops did he cut that day?
A.
15
B.
21
C.
40
D.
280

Answer 1

you can represent this with 2 equations
let x = number of flat tops = x and number of buzz cuts = y
then
13x + 9y = 600 (that's the money he made)
we also know that he did 3 times as many buzzes as flats so
y = 3x

so u need to solve this system of equations

y = 3x
13x + 9y = 600
