Nick spent $1384 on jackets and shirts. The number of shirts he bought was ¹₂ the number of jackets he bought. The cost of a shirt was $5 more than the cost of a jacket. He paid $408 more on jackets than on shirts. Find the cost of 10 jackets and 4 shirts.

	Jackets	Shirts
Number of sets	2 sets	1 set
Compare each		$5 more
Total value	$896	$488

Total cost of shirts
= (1384 - 408) ÷ 2
= $488

Total cost of jackets
= 488 + 408
= $896

2 sets of jackets = $896
1 set of jackets = 896 ÷ 2 = $448 

1 set of shirts = $488

Difference in 1 set of shirts and 1 set of jackets
= 488 - 448
= $40

Number of clothing in 1 set
= 40 ÷ 5
= 8

Cost of 1 jacket
= 448 ÷ 8
= $56

Cost of 1 shirt
= 56 + 5
= $61

Price of 10 jackets and 4 shirts
= (10 x 56) + (4 x 61)
= 560 + 244
= $804

Answer(s): $804
