Finding 2 equivalent rates in the table is the same as finding which product has the same unitary price for distinct amounts.

To find the price of a single product, we just divide the total price by the total amount of products you're buying. For example, the price of a hat if you take 2 hats is given by


(10)/(2)=5

It is $5, however, if you buy 3 hats instead, you're going to pay


(12)/(3)=4

$4 instead.

If you calculate and do this comparison of prices for each product, you're going to find that only belts have the same price for different amounts.


\begin{gathered} (9)/(3)=(15)/(5)=3 \\ (20)/(2)=10\\e(32)/(4)=8 \\ (15)/(1)=15\\e(25)/(2)=12.5 \end{gathered}

The answer is belts.
