Question: Rebecca runs a hair salon. She charges $30 for haircuts, $40 for perms, and $60 for dye jobs, but she has to buy a box of hair dye for $10 to dye every head of hair. Today, she has four haircuts, one perm, and two dye jobs scheduled. If she makes $50 in tips, how much money will she have in dollars at the end of the day?
Answer: Rebecca will make 30 * 4 = $120 from haircuts today. She will make 60 * 2 = $120 from dye jobs. She will spend 10 * 2 = $20 on hair dye. With the $40 perm and tips, at the end of the day, Rebecca will have 120 + 120 + 40 - 20 + 50 = $310. The answer is 310.
[Question]Katrina saw an ad that said if she signed up for her local recycling program, she could earn $5.00. When she signed up, they told her for every friend that she referred, the friend would receive $5.00 and she would receive another $5.00 per friend. That day, she had 5 friends sign up and another 7 friends by the end of the week. How much money in total did she and her friends make?
[Answer]She signed up 5 friends, then an additional 7 for a total of 5 + 7 = 12 friends. Each friend received $5 so 12 * 5 = $60.00. And she received $5 for each friend so 12 * 5 = $60.00. Her initial reward was $5 and her friends made $60 for signing up and she received $60 when they signed up for a total of 5 + 60 + 60 = $125.00. The answer is 125.
