Question 1002563: Roberto is shopping for shoes and hats. He finds a store that sells 2 hat and 4 pairs of shoes for $249 or 4 hats and 2 pairs of shoes for $168. How much does one hat cost?

As to which package would be a more attractive purchase, it would depend on exactly how many hats and pairs of shoes I needed. If I needed 6 of each, I would very likely buy one of each package.
