Question

The cost of a scarf is twice as the hat. 1 scarf and 4 hats cost £18. how much does a scarf cost

Answer 1

One scarf costs

$6

.

Explanation:

Let's assume the cost of the hat to be x.

According to the problem, the cost of a scarf is twice the cost of a hat, so:

Cost of a scarf = 2x

Now, we know that 1 scarf and 4 hats cost $18, so we can set up an equation:

2x + 4x = 18

Simplifying the equation:

6x = 18

x = 3

Therefore, the cost of a hat is $3.

Now we can find the cost of a scarf using the equation:

Cost of a scarf = 2x = 2*3 = £6

So, a scarf costs $6.

Answer 2

Answer: £6

Explanation:

1 hat=x

1 scarf= 2x

1 scarf + 4 hats= 2x +4x = 6x

6x=18

x=3

scarf= £6
