Answer 1

Answer:

Discount price of T-shirt is $14.40

Regular price of hat is $22.50

Step-by-step explanation:

The regular price, without a discount, of the T-shirt is $18. Since the store offers a discount of 20%, we must remove 20% of the price.

100%-20%=80%. So, the discount price is 80% of the regular price.

18 × 80% = 14.4

So, the discount price of the T-shirt is $14.40.

The hat, on a discount of 20%, costs $18. To find the regular price, we must multiply it by the reciprocal of 80%, which is 100/80, or 1.25.

1.25 × 18 = 22.5

So, the regular price of the hat is $22.50.
