My question is: Jeff bought 6 pairs of shoes and 4 jerseys for $560. Jerseys cost 1/4 price of one pair of shoes. Find the shoe's price total price. Your thoughts:

Let X be the shoe price. The jersey's price is 1 / 4 * X. Jeff bought 6 pairs of shoes and 4 jerseys for 6 * X + 4 * (1 / 4X) = $560. Multiplying through the parentheses produces 6X + X = $560. Combining like terms produces 7X = $560. Dividing both sides by 7 produces X = $80, so the shoe price is $80. Since Jeff bought 6 pairs of shoes, he spent 80 * 6 = $480 on shoes. The final answer: 480.
