Answer 1

Kindly check explanation

Explanation:

Given that :

Let Cost of hats = h

Cost of scarves = 1.5h

Hence if hats cost $h, then the cost of scarves will be; (1.5 * h)

Using tables :

If the cost of an hat = $2

Hence,

N _____cost of hat(h) ____cost of scarve

1_______2*1 = 2 _________1.5(2) = 3

2______2 *2 = 4 _________1.5(4) = 6

3______2*3 = 6 _________1.5(6) = 9

4 ______ 2*4 = 8 ________1.5(8) = 12

5 ______2 *5=10 ________1.5(10) = 15

Cost of 6 hats and scarve:

Cost of hat:

2 * 6 = $12

1.5h = 1.5(12) = $18
