To solve this, you need to define the costs of the two objects. You can define one as a variable, and define one related to the other. So if you let X equal the cost of the umbrella, you could let the cost of the ring equal (X+17) since it costs 17 more. Then you know that the total of the two items is 73, so you can create this linear equation: X + (X + 17) = 73 Which states the the sum of the cost of the umbrella (X) and the cost of the ring (X + 17) will equal the total cost (73). If you solve for X, you will find that X = 28. This means that 28 is the cost of the umbrella. The cost of the ring is 17 more than this, or 45. If you add those two costs together, you will find that they do, indeed, total 73. Umbrella = 28 Ring = 45

How are transportation costs are calculated for a specific item in an order including other items?
In general accounting practice, transportation (shipping) costs are allocated to specific items in a multi-item order by the relative cost of each item. Example: A 2-item order totals $100 (say, $60 for one item and $40 for the other), and the shipping cost is $10. The shipping cost for the $60 item is $60/$100*$10 = $6, and the shipping cost for the $40 item is $4.
