I can show you how to this one, if you're still interested. It might be better as a private session, so I can upload pics/screenshots.

We need to use algebra. Let us say the number of Calloway ones, is b. Then, if he buys 2 dozen more Titleist ones, he buys 24 x b of the, or 24b.
Now if he buys 3 times as many Nike ones as Titleist ones, he buys 3 x 24b = 72b

Although reading it again, I think what it means when it says 2 dozen more, is simply 24 more Titleist than Calloway, which would make it (b +24). That's what I get for trying to doing maths too early on a Sunday morning!!!!!
So, in fact we get;
0.60b + 0.94(b+24) + 1.10( 3(b+24) + 1 = 140.50
Then, multiply out the equation and solve. Hope this helps.
