Quick method: turn each key sentence into a “maths sentence”.

“Three t-shirts and a hat cost £35” becomes 3t + h = 35.
If the riddle tells you a value directly (e.g. “the hat costs £8”), substitute it straight in: 3t + 8 = 35.
Solve the remaining step to find the unknown.

Check: does your value make the original total work exactly?
