Two brothers went shopping at a back-to-school sale where all shirts were the same price, and all the shorts too. The younger brother spent $230 on 8 new shirts and 10 pairs of shorts. The older brother purchased 8 new shirts and 4 pairs of shorts and paid a total of $116. How much did each item cost?

Younger: 12.78 per item

Older: 9.67 per item

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, if all the shirts and shorts were the same price divide the total price and total amount of items they bought.

Younger Brother:

8 shirts + 10 shorts = 18 items for $230

$230 ÷ 18 items = about 12.78 per item (it comes out to a lot of number so I estimated it the nearest hundredth)

Older Brother:

8 shirts + 4 shorts = 12 items

$116 ÷ 12 items = about 9.67 per item (estimated again)

the multiples of 15 are 15, 30,45, 60, 75, 90, 105, 120, 135, 150, 165, 180, 195,   210, 225, 240, 255, 270, 285, 300, 315, 330, 345, 360, 375,   390, 405, 420, 435, 450, 465, 480, 495, 510, 525, 540, 555, 570, 585, 600, 615, 630, 645, 660, 675, 690, 705, 720, and 735.
