44/2 = $22 discounted price for towel

38 - 22 = $16 discounted price for hat

16 + 12 = $28 regular price of the beach hat

Answer:

$28

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the regular price of beach hat be x

Normal cost of beach towel = $44

On sale for half price the cost of beach towel = [tex]\frac{44}{2}=22[/tex]

Thus the sale price of beach towel is $22

Now we are given that a beach hat was on sale for $12 off

So, sale price of beach hat = Regular price - $12

                                             =[tex]x-12[/tex]

Since we are given that buying beach towel and beach hat on sale price . Her Total was $38.

So, [tex]22+(x-12)=38[/tex]

[tex]x-12=38-22[/tex]

[tex]x-12=16[/tex]

[tex]x=16+12[/tex]

[tex]x=28[/tex]

Hence the regular price of beach hat is $28
