Strange problem, but it sounds more real-life than most math problems.
= cost of a sweat-band, in $
= cost of a T-shirt, in $
= cost of a pair of running shoes, in $
Total spent (in $) is $1380 (or maybe $1380 minus some change):

I bet is the price (in $) of the sweat-band, the total cost of the purchases was $1380, and the athlete expects no change. That would make the price for a T-shirt $120, and the price for a pair of running shoes $360.
Where I live, sales tax is added to the price of an item, and almost no one pays with cash. Most people pay with a credit card without touching any paper money.
