From the given, we can setup an equation given by the two equations: (1) Number of hats on Monday, x, and 5 new hats bought on Tuesday is equal to total number of hats, h x+5 =h (2) Half of the hats is equal to 17 \frac{1}{2}h=17 We can get x by substituting equation (1) into (2): \frac{1}{2}\left(x+5\right)=17\xrightarrow{}x+5=34\xrightarrow{}x=34-5=29 Answer: 29 hats on Monday
