Answer:

7 Haircuts each day.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us first find out the amount a barber required to cover his expenses:

8 x 10 = $80

$80 is the total amount barber required to cover his expenses.

Now, if a barber makes $12 per haircut, Let us find out the total number of haircuts he has to do in order to meet his expenses. So;

80 / 12 = 6.67 = 7

So for a barber to cover his expenses, he has to do 7 haircuts each day.
