Okay so I have these four (random) logic puzzles that are confusing. . .

The fourth one goes like this:
INTRO-
Cath & Pete are furnishing their new home and, in order to save money, decided to buy 5 sets of self-assembly furniture. Unfortunately, not all of the screws needed for construction were contained in each boz, so they had to provide more. How much did they pay for each item, how many pieces were provided and how many extra screws did they need to use in order to put it together?
Furniture Items:
Bar stools, Bed, Bookcase, Table & Wardrobe
Prices:

# of Pieces:
6, 7, 8, 9, 10
# of Extra Screws Needed:
12, 14, 15, 20, 21

Hints:
1.The kit containing bar stools for the kitchen cost less than . It consisted of the highest # of pieces, but didn’t need the highest # of extra screws.
2.The item priced at (which needed 14 extra screws) consisted of one fewer piece than the item which cost .
3.There were more pieces contained in the kit used to construct the bed than in the one (not the table kit) where 12 screws were missing.
4.The most expensive kit didn’t need the highest # of screws to be provided by the couple.
5.The wardrobe kit had 2 more pieces than the bookcase kit.
6.The cheapest item required fewer screws to complete than either the wardrobe or the bar stools.
7.No kit required a # of screws exactly divisible by the # of pieces it contained.

10pts to the correct item-price-#of pieces-# of extra screws combo for all 5!
Here’s a link to the 3rd one:
