Nick spent $1385 on shirts and jackets. The number of jackets he bought was ¹₄ the number of shirts he bought. The cost of a jacket was $7 more than the cost of a shirt. He paid $775 more on shirts than on jackets. Find the cost of 10 shirts and 6 jackets.

	Shirts	Jackets
Number of sets	4 sets	1 set
Compare each		$7 more
Total value	$1080	$305

Total cost of jackets
= (1385 - 775) ÷ 2
= $305

Total cost of shirts
= 305 + 775
= $1080

4 sets of shirts = $1080
1 set of shirts = 1080 ÷ 4 = $270 

1 set of jackets = $305

Difference in 1 set of jackets and 1 set of shirts
= 305 - 270
= $35

Number of clothing in 1 set
= 35 ÷ 7
= 5

Cost of 1 shirt
= 270 ÷ 5
= $54

Cost of 1 jacket
= 54 + 7
= $61

Price of 10 shirts and 6 jackets
= (10 x 54) + (6 x 61)
= 540 + 366
= $906

Answer(s): $906
