Nick spent $736 on skirts and hoodies. The number of hoodies he bought was ¹₂ the number of skirts he bought. The cost of a hoodie was $4 more than the cost of a skirt. He paid $224 more on skirts than on hoodies. Find the cost of 5 skirts and 10 hoodies.

	Skirts	Hoodies
Number of sets	2 sets	1 set
Compare each		$4 more
Total value	$480	$256

Total cost of hoodies
= (736 - 224) ÷ 2
= $256

Total cost of skirts
= 256 + 224
= $480

2 sets of skirts = $480
1 set of skirts = 480 ÷ 2 = $240 

1 set of hoodies = $256

Difference in 1 set of hoodies and 1 set of skirts
= 256 - 240
= $16

Number of clothing in 1 set
= 16 ÷ 4
= 4

Cost of 1 skirt
= 240 ÷ 4
= $60

Cost of 1 hoodie
= 60 + 4
= $64

Price of 5 skirts and 10 hoodies
= (5 x 60) + (10 x 64)
= 300 + 640
= $940

Answer(s): $940
