Bart and Henry were walking together and decided to split the cost of a new hat. Bart paid 2/4 of the cost, Henry paid 1/2 of the cost, and they both paid an additional 8 dollars and 50 cents. If the total cost of the hat was 14 dollars, how much did the hat cost?
The hat cost 16 dollars.
Think of a word problem using a man named Bart and Henry while using this expression
2/4x + 1/2 + 8 + 0.5 = 14
