today , everything at a store is on sale. the store offers discount is 20%. the discount price of a hat is $18. what is the regular price in dollars

22.50 I agree

To find the regular price of the hat, we can use the information given.

We know that the discount is 20%, which means the hat is being sold for 80% of its regular price (100% - 20% = 80%).

Let's set up an equation to solve for the regular price (P):

80% of P = $18

To find the regular price of the hat, we need to divide $18 by 80%:

Regular Price (P) = $18 / 80%

To convert the percentage to a decimal, divide it by 100:

Regular Price (P) = $18 / 0.80

Now, we can evaluate the expression:

Regular Price (P) = $22.50

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