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 provided by our tutors
let 'x' be the regular price of the beach hat.
44/2 + x - 12 = 38
22 + x - 12 = 38
x + 10 = 38
x = 38 -10
x = $18
the regular price of the beach hat was $18.
