(a) is correct. However I find your working for (b) is not logical.
Since 1 unit = $32.30 (i.e. 1 shirt),
Therefore 3 units = $96.90

The solution for (b) is incorrect because you took $150 as the total cost instead of $129.20. The 3 shirts should cost $96.90 because as you have calculated, each shirt = 1 unit, which is $32.30.

The concept is that the difference is always the same.
Using model.
Before:
Jimmy - 4 parts
Nephew - 1 part
Difference is 3 parts.
After (10 yrs time):
Jim - 2 parts
Nephew - 1 part
Difference is 1 part. It is equal to 3 parts from "before".
So the model can be modified to
Jim - 6 parts
Nephew - 3 parts.
For "before", nephew got 1 part. For "aftere", nephew got 3 parts.
Difference is 2 parts. These 2 parts is equal to 10 years.
So 1 part is 5 years.
Nephew is 5 years old.
Hope it is not confusing. :)
