Store D	6000	1700	700	8000	$ 511,300

Let the cost price of Jeans be w

Let the cost price of Jacket be x

Let the cost price of sweater be y

Let the cost price of shirt be z

we can write the equations now as

3000w + 3000x + 2100y + 4300z = $488,975

2800w + 2500x + 2000y + 4500z = $447,575

4000w + 3000x + 2300y + 7500z = $597,125

6000w + 1700x + 700y + 8000z = $511,300

solving these four equations to get the final cost price

The cost price of jeans = 32.75$

Cost price of jacket = 69$

Cost price of sweater = 45$

Cost price of shirt = 20.75$
