Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

Sherie bought a beach towel that normally costs $44 but was on sale for half price.

That means she bought beach towel for= $ (44/2)=$ 22

She also bought a beach hat that was on sale for $12 off.

Let regular price of the beach hat= $ x

She bought beach hat for= $ (x-12)

Her total cost was $38.

⇒ 22+(x-12)=38

⇒ 22-12+x=38

⇒ 10+x=38

⇒ x=38-10

⇒ x=28

Hence,  the regular price of the beach hat was:

B.$28
