I accidentally accepted a lowball salary - can I renegotiate??

During my initial phone interview I gave my salary expectations (35-40k) and the recruiter seemed relieved and told me I was right in the range for what they were able to offer. We went over the salary expectations again during the in-person interview and again they seemed to be happy with my proposal of 35-40k.

About a week later the recruiter called to offer me the position for $16.78/hour. I am admittedly terrible at math and panicked and accepted the offer over the phone, thinking we were on the same page and the salary would add up to somewhere in my expected range. Now that I did the math I realized that 16.78/hr amounts to only around 32k before tax, which is about the same as what I made at my previous position. I’m disappointed that I accepted the offer so quickly and I am wondering if I have any leverage to try and renegotiate before they send me an official offer letter. Is it a bad idea to explain that I didn’t realize that the hourly rate would amount to something lower than I had given as my salary expectation? The Recreo otter told me she will be sending along an offer letter in a few days and I’m debating if I should try to call her before then. Any advice is appreciated!
