Question

Mr.Vectadore is buying two new cowboy hats. All together the hats cost $75.12. The second hat costs twice as much as the first hat. What is the price of the more expensive hat?

Answer 1

Let 'x' represent the cost of the first hat then the cost of the second hat is '2x'.

Altogether the hats cost $75.12:

x + 2x = 75.12

x = $25.04

2x = 2*25.04 = $50.08

The price of the more expensive hat is $50.08.

Answer 2

The price would be 50.08.
good luck xx
