Question 1148830: 2 identical jackets and 3 identical pair of shoes cost $1026. Each jacket cost thrice as much as each pair of shoes. What is the total cost of 15 such jackets. Answer by amarjeeth123(570) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let the cost of each pair of shoes be x.
Then the cost of a jacket is 3x.
We have 2(3x)+3x=1026
9x=1026
x=114.
The cost of 15 such jackets is 15*3*114=$5130
