Question

8. Lori bought a shirt and a hat at a half-off sale.

If she spent a total of $21 on the two items,
what was the original price of the hat?

Answer 1

The original price would’ve been 42 dollars. Since it’s half off you’ll multiply 21 by 2 and you’ll get 42 which makes the answer 21

Answer 2

the hat cost 18

Explanation:

if the shirt is 24 half the price of the shirt is 12 so 21-12= 9 which is the price of the hat discounted.

The original price of the hat is 18 because 9 x 2 = 18
