    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let x represent the amount of money spent by Jude for the shirts that he bought.

    Let y represent the amount of money spent by Maddox for the shirts that he bought.

    Jude bought some shirts for $10each. This means that the total amount that he paid for x shirts would be

    x * 10 = $10x

    Maddox bought some shirts for $12 each. This means that the total amount that he paid for y shirts would be

    y * 12 = $12y

    The boys spent the same amount of money on shirts. Therefore,

    10x = 12y

    The least values of x and y that would make both sides of the equation to be equal is when x = 6, y = 5. Therefore,

    10 * 6 = 12 * 5

    60 = 60

    Therefore, the least amount of money they could have spent is $60
