Total cost of hoodies
= (990 - 250) ÷ 2
= $370
Total cost of skirts
= 370 + 250
= $620
2 sets of skirts = $620
1 set of skirts = 620 ÷ 2 = $310
1 set of hoodies = $370
Difference in 1 set of hoodies and 1 set of skirts
= 370 - 310
= $60
Number of clothing in 1 set
= 60 ÷ 6
= 10
Cost of 1 skirt
= 310 ÷ 10
= $31
Cost of 1 hoodie
= 31 + 6
= $37
Price of 4 skirts and 10 hoodies
= (4 x 31) + (10 x 37)
= 124 + 370
= $494
Answer(s): $494
