Explanation / Answer

Solution

Let the cost of Jeans is A, Jacket is B, Sweaters is C, shirts is D

2000A + 2000B + 2400C + 4300D = 400575

1700A + 1500B + 2200C + 4400D = 348775

3000A + 3000B + 2400C + 6500D = 547875

7000A + 1800B + 700C + 7000D = 528500

Solving the above equations, we get

Cost of jeans = 32.75

Cost of jacket = 70

Cost of sweater = 45

Cost of shirt = 20.25
