    Tara wants to get a haircut at her local salon, Best Hair. Best Hair charges on the basis of the level of experience of their hairdressers, and there is a tiered pricing system because of this. Best Hair charges at a higher rate per standard haircut for a senior stylist or partner than for a trainee or assistant, and all prices include VAT and a small profit. The rates for a standard haircut are as follows:

    Partner

    £95

    Senior Stylist

    £80

    Junior Stylist

    £65

    Trainee

    £40

    Assistant

    £25
    Question 1. Tara takes her two daughters, Mary and Rachel, to the salon with her. Tara decides to opt for the haircut from the Senior Stylist. Mary receives a haircut from the trainee, although she decides to get her hair styled too, which increases the cost of the haircut by 15%. Rachel gets a haircut from the Assistant, but since she is under 12 years old, she receives a 30% discount. How much is Tara asked to pay?

    Explanation

    The correct answer is D.

    1.Work out how much Mary’s haircut costs:

    40 x 1.15 = 46

    2.Work out how much Rachel’s haircut costs:

    25 x 0.7 = 17.5

    3.Work out the total:

    46 + 17.5 + 80 = £143.50

    Top tip: read the answers carefully as the UCAT answer options will often be very similar.
