Answer:

(100 – 12) – 3x

Explanation:

(100 – 12) – 3x would be the correct answer because:

100 is the total amount he paid

12 is the cost of pants

because we don't know the price of shirts yet so it would be called x

He buy in total of 3 shirts so the equation for the price would be 3 * x = 3x

So it would be:

total money paid - pants costs - shirts cost

= 100 - 12 - 3x or (100 - 12) -3x

Hope this helped :)
