Let x be the price of one shirt, y be the price of one pair of trousers and z be the price of one hat.

4x + 4y + 2z = 560 :

9x + 9y + 6z = 1,290

3x + 3y + 2z = 430 : divide all terms of equation C by 3

x + y = 130 : subtract equation D from equation B

3(x + y) + 2z = 430 : equation D with factored terms.

3*130 + 2z = 430

z = 20 : solve for z

x + y + z = 130 + 20 = $150
