The problem shown in the image asks:

"A shop normally sells hats for £22.50 each. During a sale, the hats are half price. How much would it cost to buy 7 hats during the sale? Give your answer in pounds (£)."

### Solution:

1. The normal price of one hat is **£22.50**.
2. During the sale, the hats are **half price**, so the new price is:
   \[
   \text{Sale price} = \frac{22.50}{2} = 11.25 \, \text{pounds per hat}.
   \]
3. To find the total cost of 7 hats during the sale:
   \[
   \text{Total cost} = 7 \times 11.25 = 78.75 \, \text{pounds}.
   \]

Thus, the total cost to buy 7 hats during the sale is **£78.75**.
