You can put this solution on YOUR website! Marissa made out the order for Jaguar Jeans.
She ordered 7 pairs of jeans for every jacket,
1 shirt for every 2 pairs of jeans,
3 sweaters for every jacket,
2 pairs of shoes for each 3 sweaters, and
1 belt for every 3 jackets.
If Marissa ordered 36 jackets, how many items did she order altogether?
------------------
# of jackets = 36
# of jeans = 7*36 = 152
# of sweaters = 36
# of pairs of shoes = 24
# of belts = 12
-----------------------
Total number of items = 36+152+36+24+12 = 260
