--------------------------------------------
Define x:
--------------------------------------------
Let the tie be x
Tie = x
Shirt = x - 4.02

--------------------------------------------
Construct equation :
 --------------------------------------------
The sum of the shirt and tie is $75.62
x + x -4.02 = 75.62
2x - 4.02 = 75.62
2x = 79.64
x = $39.82

--------------------------------------------
Find the cost of tie and shirt :
--------------------------------------------
Tie = x = $39.82
Shirt = x - $4.02 = $39.82 - $4.02 = $35.80

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: The price of the short is $35.80
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Stels [109]
Where 1/4 represents Bob and 1/6 represents Ted...
1/4x + 1/6x = 1
Multiply the two so there is no fraction by the GCF of 12. 
3x + 2x = 12
Add 3x and 2x.
5x = 12
Divide by 5.
x = 12
Plug this value in.
With that, the answer is 2 hours and 24 minutes with x = 12 meaning 144 minutes.
