Question

Mary Jo takes her son to get a haircut at the barbershop. The total cost of the haircut is $12.60, including a 20% tip. How much was the haircut before the tip?

Please help me, I'm stuck!

Answer 1

Answer:

$10.08

Step-by-step explanation:

total cost is $12.60 which is after the haircut

so we need to deduct the tip from total amount paid

i.e. tip :- 20/100*12.60 = 2.52

so, the cost of haircut before the tip

= 12.60 - 2.52

= $10.08

Answer 2

Answer:

$10.50

Step-by-step explanation:

12.60 divided by 1.20 =%10.50
