Explanation:

Answer 2

The expression
`19.99(x+3)+14.99(y+4)`

Explanation:

We are given that,

The number of shirts = x and the number pairs of shorts = y.

Now, we have that,

Marissa bought 'x' shirts on the first day and 3 more shirts on the next day.

So, total number of shirts bought by Marissa = (x+3)

Also, Marissa bought 'y' pair of shorts on the first day and 4 more pair of shorts on the next day.

So, total number of pair of shorts bought by Marissa = (y+4)

Since, one shirts costs $19.99. So, (x+3) shirts costs
`19.99(x+3)` dollars.

Since, one pair of shorts costs $14.99. So, (y+4) pair of shorts costs
`14.99(y+4)` dollars.

Thus, the expression representing the total amount spent by her is
`19.99(x+3)+14.99(y+4)`.
