Jane paid a total of $162 for a hoodie, a pair of socks and a pair of sport shoes. She spent ⁵₉ of her money on the pair of socks. The pair of sport shoes cost 8 times as much as the hoodie. How much more did she pay for the pair of sport shoes than the hoodie?
Amount that Jane paid for the pair of socks
= ⁵₉ x 162 
= $90

Amount that Jane left after buying the socks
= 162 - 90
= $72

Amount that Jane paid for the hoodie = 1 u
Amount that Jane paid for the sport shoes = 8 u

Total amount spent on the hoodie and the pair of sport shoes
= 1 u + 8 u
= 9 u

9 u = 72

1 u = 72 ÷ 9 = 8

Amount that Jane paid more for the pair of sport shoes than the hoodie
= 8 u - 1 u
= 7 u
= 7 x 8
= $56

Answer(s): $56
