    Let us say that:

    x = the number of T shirts bought = 4

    y = the number of leather jackets bought = 1

    a = the price of the T shirts

    b = the price of the leather jackets

    With the given variables, we can say that the total cost is:

    total cost = a x + b y

    Since, b = 6 a, therefore:

    total cost = a x + 6 a y

    total cost = a (x + 6 y)

    Since total cost is 209, therefore we can calculate for a since x and y are also given:

    209 = a (4 + 6 * 1)

    209 = a (10)

    a = $20.9

    Therefore each T shirt cost $20.9
