Cost of jeans=
total cost of the shirts=

(I think that 60 represents the price for the jeans and 20x represents the shirts)

Answer 1

thats is the answer

Answer 2

Cost before tax = 60 + 20x.

In this model, 60 is used only one time and so, it would represent the pair of jeans.

20x = 20 + 20 + 20 +.... x times

Since, it is given that each shirt costs the same amount, it is clear that 20 represents the cost of one shirt and x represents the number of shirts the customer purchases.
