While on vacation, Craig bought a pair of sunglasses for $15.98, a hat for $7.99, 5 postcards, and a beach towel. The beach towel cost. $0.50 more than half the price of the sunglasses. Craig gave the cashier $40 and got $3.59 in change. Each postcard cost the same. How much did each postcard cost?

Hey I did one of them; now you try.
I'm clueless when it comes to this...trying to help out my 10 year old who's not feeling well =(
s = sunglass
h = hat
p = postcard
b = beach towel
------------------
s = 15.98
h = 7.99
b = .50 + (1/2)s = 8.49
----------------------------
cost
15.98 + 7.99 + 8.49 + 5 p = 40-3.59
32.46 + 5 p = 36.41
5 p = 3.95
p =0.79 or 79 cents each
h = hat
p = postcard
b = beach towel
------------------
s = 15.98
h = 7.99
b = .50 + (1/2)s = 8.49
----------------------------
cost
15.98 + 7.99 + 8.49 + 5 p = 40-3.59
