Celeste wants to have her hair cut and permed and also go to lunch. She knows she will need $68. The perm costs twice as much as her haircut and she needs $5 for lunch .

Respuesta :

Let P=Perm cost
Let H = Haircut cost
Let L = Lunch cost

Perm costs twice as much as haircut so.. P = 2H
L = 5

H + P + L = 68 the total cost is $68

H + 2H + 5 = 68 since P = 2H and L=5

3H + 5 = 68

3H =63

H = 63/3

H = 21

A Haircut is $21
Perm = 2H = 2(21) = $42

Answer:

42 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

2h+h+5=68

3h+5=68

3h=63 divided by 3

21*2=$42
