Suzy bought a shirt on sale for \( \$ 25 \). The original price of the shirt was 6 times that amount. Suzy also bought a pair of shoes on sale for \( \$ 45 \). The original price of the shoes was 10 times that amount. Together, how much money did the shirt and shoes cost before they went on sale?

The original price of the shirt was \( 6 \times 25 = 150 \) dollars. For the shoes, the original price was \( 10 \times 45 = 450 \) dollars. So, to find the total cost of both the shirt and shoes before they went on sale, we add the two original prices together: \( 150 + 450 = 600 \) dollars. Therefore, before the sale, Suzy spent a total of \( 600 \) dollars on both items.
