Reasoning and 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.

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: 125
Reverse engineering the 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?

Between Monday and Sunday there are 7 days. If she will be using the same shirt for 2 days then she will need clothes for 7 - 2 = 5 days.

In total she will need 10 shirts between Tuesday and Saturday and 1 shirt for Monday and Sunday = 11 shirts.
The answer: 11
