DR 10 Front, DR 4 Back, $1323, 13.23 lbs.

If the front is DR10 and the back DR4 (and assuming back and front are same area), I'd take the total weight divide by 14 and multiply by 10 to get the front and multiply by 4 to get the back
8.57lbs for the front and 3.43lbs for the back
(edit: this is a simplification as even the back and front is the same in terms of the area being covered, the front plate is likely to be angled more than the back plate allowing for relative reduced weight for the same protection).
If you use the chest location/area and armour by material design rules to retroactively derive material values from the pyramid articles I mentioned, you end up with very, very good steel (WM = 0.40)
