Tommy and Seth had $114 and $58 respectively. Each of them bought a jacket and a hoodie at the same price. The cost of the jacket was 3 times as much as the hoodie. In the end, Tommy had 5 times as much money as Seth. What was the difference between the cost of the hoodie and the jacket?

	Tommy	Seth	Difference
Before	$114	$58	$56
Change	- 4 p	- 4 p
After	5 u	1 u	4 u

Since Tommy and Seth bought the same items at the same price, the difference in the amounts they had remains unchanged at first and in the end.

5 u - 1 u = 114 - 58
4 u = 56

1 u = 56 ÷ 4 = 14

Cost of 1 jacket = 3 p
Cost of 1 hoodie = 1 p

Total cost of 1 jacket and 1 hoodie
= 3 p + 1 p
= 4 p

4 p = 58 - 14
4 p = 44

1 p = 44 ÷ 4 = 11

Difference in the cost between the jacket and the hoodie
= 3 p - 1 p
= 2 p
= 2 x 11
= $22

Answer(s): $22
