Help. This is straight up confusing. You buy one shirt for $8 and Y hats for $4 each. You spend $16 how many hats can you buy?

By the way, I am in 7th grade and moved up so that's why I am in Alg.2

8 + 4Y = 16

4Y = 16 - 8

4Y = 8

Y = 2

You bought hats.

I hate to disillusion you, but this is a typical beginning algebra problem.

To find out how many hats you can buy, we need to determine the amount of money left after purchasing the one shirt.

Let's break down the given information:

- The cost of one shirt is $8.
- The cost of each hat is $4.
- The total amount spent is $16.

First, subtract the cost of the shirt from the total amount spent: $16 - $8 = $8.

Now, we need to find out how many hats you can buy with this remaining $8. Since each hat costs $4, divide the remaining amount by the cost per hat: $8 / $4 = 2.

So, with the remaining $8, you can buy 2 hats.
