Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The cost of each item is:
- Two suits: 2 x $184 = $368
- Four shirts: 4 x $23 = $92
- Two pairs of shoes: 2 x $79 = $158
- Four ties: 4 x $24 = $96
- Five pairs of socks: 5 x $5 = $25

Adding up all the costs, we get:
$368 + $92 + $158 + $96 + $25 = $739

Therefore, the total cost of these items was $739, which corresponds to choice (C). To find the total cost, we need to add up the cost of each item:

2 suits at $184 each = $368 
4 shirts at $23 each = $92 
2 pairs of shoes at $79 each = $158 
4 ties at $24 each = $96 
5 pairs of socks at $5 each = $25

Total cost = $368 + $92 + $158 + $96 + $25 = $739

Therefore, the best choice is C, which is the total cost of all the items.
