A hairstylist charges $5 for a normal haircut, $6 for a special haircut, and $8 for a trendy haircut. If he cuts 5 normal haircuts, 3 special haircuts, and 2 trendy haircuts per day, how much money does he earn per week?

If the pie left in the fridge weighs 1200 grams, how many grams did Sophia eat? If Sophia ate 1/6 of the pie, then 6/6 - 1/6 = 5/6 is left in the fridge. Let x be the pie's original weight.
