First, let’s all acknowledge that whoever comes up with problems like this WANTS kids to hate math...smh

I’m sure there is a prettier way to solve this, but here’s what I did:

8(2.25) + 3(22.50) =
18 + 67.50 = 85.50 per “set” of balls/jerseys
400/85.50 = 4.678 = number of “sets” he can buy. Round down to 4 so we have room for tax.

85.5 x 4 “sets”= $342
Tax on 342 is 0.06 x 342 = 20.52

$342 + 20.52 = $362.52 spent

Basketballs = 4 sets x 8 balls per set= 32
Jerseys = 4 sets x 3 jerseys per set= 12

32 basketballs, 12 jerseys, $362.52 spent
