Explanation:

Answer 2

$50.08

Explanation:

We use x to represent the price of the cheapest hat. Since the more expensive hat is twice the price of the cheaper one, we use 2x to represent it. Therefore x + 2x, or 3x, equals $75.12. Divide 75.12 by 3 to find x, which is 25.04. The more expensive hat is 2x, so we must multiply 25.04 by 2 to find the price of the more expensive hat.
