Question

A hat is on sale for h dollars. The regular price is 7 times as much. Charlie has enough money to buy two hats at the regular price. How many hats can charlie buy at the sale price

Answer 1

Answer:

Charlie can buy 14 hats at the sale price

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

h ----> the sale price of the hat

x ---> the regular price of the hat

we know that

$x=7h$ ----> equation A

so

Two hats at the regular price  is equal to multiply 2 by x

Multiply by 2 equation A both sides

$2x=(7h)*2$

$2x=14h$

2 hats at the regular price cost the same that 14 hats at the sale price

therefore

Charlie can buy 14 hats at the sale price
