Question

PLEASE HELP ME PLEASE Yanna buys a shirt and a hat on sale for 40% off. If the price of the shirt before the sale was $28 and she spent a total of $24.90, what was the original price of the hat? PLEASE HELP ME PLEASE

Answer 1

28-24.90=3.10

28 x 0.4 = 11.2

28-11.2=16.8

24.90-16.80=8.10

8.10 / 0.6 = 13.5

original price of hat is 13.50 dollars

Explanation:

Answer 2

$13.50

Explanation:

Both of the items were 40% off, so we can find the sale price of the shirt:

28 - 40% * 28 = 28 - 0.40 * 28 = $16.80

Now subtract this from the total:

24.90 - 16.80 = $8.10

$8.10 is the sales price of the hat. Let's say the price of the hat was h. Then:

h - 40% * h = 8.10

h - 0.40h = 8.10

0.60h = 8.10

h = $13.50

The original price was $13.50.
