Nick spent $1080 on hoodies and skirts. The number of skirts he bought was ¹₄ the number of hoodies he bought. The cost of a skirt was $5 more than the cost of a hoodie. He paid $600 more on hoodies than on skirts. Find the cost of 6 hoodies and 8 skirts.

	Hoodies	Skirts
Number of sets	4 sets	1 set
Compare each		$5 more
Total value	$840	$240

Total cost of skirts
= (1080 - 600) ÷ 2
= $240

Total cost of hoodies
= 240 + 600
= $840

4 sets of hoodies = $840
1 set of hoodies = 840 ÷ 4 = $210 

1 set of skirts = $240

Difference in 1 set of skirts and 1 set of hoodies
= 240 - 210
= $30

Number of clothing in 1 set
= 30 ÷ 5
= 6

Cost of 1 hoodie
= 210 ÷ 6
= $35

Cost of 1 skirt
= 35 + 5
= $40

Price of 6 hoodies and 8 skirts
= (6 x 35) + (8 x 40)
= 210 + 320
= $530

Answer(s): $530
