    Answer: Cost of the gloves is $ 51

    Cost of the cleats is $85

    Cost of the hat is $8.50

    Cleats cost $76.5 more than the hat.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let the cost of gloves be 'g'

    Let the cost of cleats be 'c'

    Let the cost of hat be 'h'

    Total money she had = $184

    Money left after purchasing = $39.50

    Money spent = 184 - 39.50

    =$144.50

    g = (3/5) c

    (5/3) g = c

    h = (1/6) g

    g + c + h = 144.50

    g + (5/3) g + (1/6) g = 144.50

    (6g + 10g + g) / 6 = 144.50

    (17g) / 6 = 144.50

    (17/6) g = 144.50

    g = (144.50) (6/17)

    g = $51

    c = (5/3) g

    c = (5/3) (51)

    c = $85

    h = (1/6) g

    h = (1/6) (51)

    h = $8.5

    Cost of the gloves is $ 51

    Cost of the cleats is $85

    Cost of the hat is $8.50

    Cleats cost $76.5 more than the hat.
