Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B)

Whitney charges 83$ for a coloring.
Whitney charges 30$ for a haircut

Given: Charge of one haircut $=$30$

To find: Charge of one haircut and coloring.

Let the charge of haircut be $x$

Let the charge of coloring be $y$

$\Rightarrow x=$30$

$\Rightarrow 5x+2y=316$

$2y=316-150$

$y=83$$
