Question

Sherie bought a beach towel that normally costs $44 but was on sale for half price. She also bought a beach hat that was on sale for $12 off. Before tax, her total cost was $38. What was the regular price of the beach hat?

Answer 1

so you have the towel for 44 which is half of, so that would be $22

So your total cost is 38, so subtract 22 from that and you get 16, that would be the sale price for the hat.

Then add 12 more dollars to the 16, so you get 28

So $28 is the regular price of the beach hat

Hope this helps
