How much did the pants and shirt cost? ** Let X be the coat's price. The shirt's price is X/5. The pants and the shirt cost $100, so the pants price is $100 - X/5.
How much did the pants and coat cost? ** The pants and coat costs ($100 - X/5) + X = $244.
How much did the pants and coat cost? ** Combining like terms and subtracting $100 from both sides, we get 4/5*X = $144.
How much did the coat cost? ** Dividing both sides by 4/5, we get X = $180.
