B. 100 - 2p

C. 5 + 2p

D. 7sp

Answer 1

The total cost of their purchases is 5s + 2p = 100

Explanation:

I am going to say that:

The price of a sweater is s.

The price of a pair of pants is p.

Matt and Carla each spent $100 at the mall. Together they bought five sweaters and two pairs of pants

5 sweaters: 5s

2 pairs of pants: 2p

Total:

5s + 2p

Since the total is 100:

5s + 2p = 100

The total cost of their purchases is 5s + 2p = 100
