Answer:

$50.08

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the cheaper hat, is the more expensive hat is 2 times this value, it can be shown by 2x. The addition of these two values = 75.12

x + 2x = 75.12

3x = 75.12

Divide both sides by three to find 1x:

x = 25.04

If the more expensive hat is 2x this, then:

2 * 25.04 = 50.08

So the more expensive hat is $50.08!


Hope this helps!
