Answer 2

in general, the amount spent (a) number of items that cost (b) each, the total amount spent would be a*b

applying this logic to the blouses, the amt. spent on blouses = (price per blouse)(number of blouses)

same logic for socks, amt. spent on socks = (price per pair of socks)(number of pairs)

putting everything together:

(price per blouse)(number of blouses) + (price per pair of socks)(number of pairs) = (total amount spent)

fill in the appropriate values and variables from the equation
