To find out how much Stacey's outfit cost, we start by determining the price of her scarf and blouse.
Given that her hat cost $10.00, and her scarf cost half as much as her hat, we can calculate the cost of the scarf.
Scarf cost = 1/2 * Hat cost
Scarf cost = 1/2 * $10.00
Scarf cost = $5.00
Next, we know that the blouse cost three times as much as her scarf. Thus, we can calculate the cost of the blouse.
Blouse cost = 3 * Scarf cost
Blouse cost = 3 * $5.00
Blouse cost = $15.00
Finally, to determine the total cost of Stacey's outfit, we add together the cost of her hat, scarf, and blouse.
Total outfit cost = Hat cost + Scarf cost + Blouse cost
Total outfit cost = $10.00 + $5.00 + $15.00
Total outfit cost = $30.00
Therefore, Stacey's outfit cost $30.00.
