Total cost of jackets
= (1008 - 288) ÷ 2
= $360
Total cost of hoodies
= 360 + 288
= $648
2 sets of hoodies = $648
1 set of hoodies = 648 ÷ 2 = $324
1 set of jackets = $360
Difference in 1 set of jackets and 1 set of hoodies
= 360 - 324
= $36
Number of clothing in 1 set
= 36 ÷ 4
= 9
Cost of 1 hoodie
= 324 ÷ 9
= $36
Cost of 1 jacket
= 36 + 4
= $40
Price of 5 hoodies and 10 jackets
= (5 x 36) + (10 x 40)
= 180 + 400
