Question

Beach towels are on sale for $1.50 off of the regular price. Ms. Ortiz buys 4 beach towels on sale for a total of $33.96. Use equations to determine the regular price of a beach towel.

Answer 1

Answer: $9.99

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that beach towels are on sale for $1.50 off of the regular price and that Ms. Ortiz buys 4 beach towels on sale for a total of $33.96.

The amount for each beach towel bought will be:

= $33.96/4

= $8.49

Since there's $1.50 off the normal price, that means the normal price for each will have been:

= $8.49 + $1.50

= $9.99
