Question: 178
7. Marlene bought a hat and a scarf. The hat cost $5.96 more than the scarf. The total for the two items, before tax, was $63.94. What was the cost of the hat?
- A. $26.39
- B. $26.99
- C. $28.99
- D. $34.95
Correct Answer: D
Explanation:
D is correct. Hat + scarf = $63.94; hat = scarf + 5.96
x + (x + 5.96) = 63.94
2x = 57.98
x = 28.99
hat = 28.99 + 5.95 = $34.95
