Answer:

The term 27p represents the total cost in dollars of pants

The term 13(p+4) represents the total cost in dollars of shirts

The expression 27p+13(p+4) represents the overall cost in dollars of the shirts and pants Christ buys

Explanation:

Disclaimer: if the owner can include the options, I can give a better answer.

We know each pair of pants is $27. Since each pair of pants costs $27, we can say the total cost in dollars of pants is equal to 27*P. For each pair of pants Chris buys, he buys 4 shirts. P+4 is the total number of shirts Chris will buy. The price of these shirts in dollars is $13. So we can assume the total cost in dollars of shirts will be 13(P+4). The total expression is the total amount in dollars Chris spends.
