A sailmaker made two flat sails, S and T, each in the shape of a trapezoid with a pair of parallel horizontal bases. The bottom bases of the sails have the same length x, where x is 3 times the length of the top base of sail S, and x is 2 times the length of the top base of sail T. The height of sail T is 1.5 times the height of sail S. Both sails were made of material that had a fixed cost per unit area. If the total cost of the material for sail S was $400, what was the total cost of the material for sail T?
