A beautician charges $25 per haircut. She also determines that overhead not associated with number of haircuts (rent, utilities, equipment) is $150 per week. Consider the relationship between number of haircuts and profit. If she gives 20 haircuts in one week, what is her profit (in dollars)? $ If she gives 40 haircuts in one week, what is her profit (in dollars)? $ Is this a proportional function? That is, does double the number of haircuts mean that profit is doubled? Yes No

The weekly price at an extended-stay hotel (renting by the week for business travelers) is $950. Operating costs average $20,000 per week, regardless of the number of rooms rented. Construct a spreadsheet model to determine the profit if 40 rooms are rented. The manager has observed that the number of rooms rented during any given week varies between 32 and 50 (the total number of rooms available). 1.) Use data tables to evaluate the profit for this range of unit rentals. 2.) How will profit be affected by simultaneous changes in room availability and price?

Earyn owns French Twist Hair Salon. She charges $35 for a cut and $120 for a cut and color combo. Yesterday she had seven clients and earned $500. Let x represent the number of clients that got a cut and y represent the number of clients that got a cut and color combo. Which of the following equations could be used to represent this situation? 1. y = 7 - x 2. x + y = 500 3. 120x + 35y = 500 4. (35 + 120)(x + y) = 500 5. 35x + 120y = 500 Check all that apply.
