Jenna wants to open a salon and must choose a location. At Location A, she will pay $1200 per month and charge $45 per haircut. At Location B, she will pay $1800 per month and charge $60 per haircut. Write an equation and solve it to determine how many haircuts result in the same profit at either location.
Answer provided by our tutors
Let 'x' represent the number of haircuts.
Location A profit will be: 45x - 1200
Location B profit will be: 60x - 1800
Now we can write the equation:
45x - 1200 = 60x - 1800
