    So, first, you have to find the smallest number that is divisible by both 12 and 10. Which is 60. So, you need 5 boxes of trophies and 6 boxes of stands

    Now to get how much it will cost you now multiply the respective costs by the amount of boxes so you get

    5 x 10 = 50

    6 x 6 = 36

    Then you add both

    50 + 36 = 86

    He will spend a total of $86 on both trophies and stands.
