Answer:
Monday x hats
Tuesday 5 hats
Wednesday (x+5) /2 hats
Thursday 17 hats
therefore, (x+5) /2 = 17
=> x =29
shanice had 29 hats on Monday.

Answer:
12
17 + 17 is 34 this includes the hats she bought on Tuesday
so half of 34 is 17 - 5 (the hats she bought on Tuesday) = 12
she bought 12 on Monday
all in all she had 34 if half of the hats weren't destroyed
