Not too sure if it can or not.

Mary bought some clothes at the local fair. She bought three times as many tops as shorts. The tops, T, were $4 each. The shorts, S, were $6 each. She spent $180 altogether.
Form some equations and solve these to find out how many tops Mary bought.

@taehyun,
Tops = 3 x shorts
4 x Tops + 6 x shorts = 180
