The regular price of the hat if the discounted price is $12 at 20% discount is $15.

What is the regular price?

Percentage discount = 20%

Discount price = $12

Regular price = x

12 = x - (20% × x)

12 = x - (0.2 × x)

12 = x - 0.2x

12 = 0.8x

Divide both sides by 0.8

x = 12/0.8

x = $15

Therefore, $15 is the regular price of the hat.
