Nick spent $2360 on blouses and skirts. The number of skirts he bought was ¹₄ the number of blouses he bought. The cost of a skirt was $10 more than the cost of a blouse. He paid $1288 more on blouses than on skirts. Find the cost of 10 blouses and 6 skirts.

	Blouses	Skirts
Number of sets	4 sets	1 set
Compare each		$10 more
Total value	$1824	$536

Total cost of skirts
= (2360 - 1288) ÷ 2
= $536

Total cost of blouses
= 536 + 1288
= $1824

4 sets of blouses = $1824
1 set of blouses = 1824 ÷ 4 = $456 

1 set of skirts = $536

Difference in 1 set of skirts and 1 set of blouses
= 536 - 456
= $80

Number of clothing in 1 set
= 80 ÷ 10
= 8

Cost of 1 blouse
= 456 ÷ 8
= $57

Cost of 1 skirt
= 57 + 10
= $67

Price of 10 blouses and 6 skirts
= (10 x 57) + (6 x 67)
= 570 + 402
= $972

Answer(s): $972
