Answer :

EXPLANATION

Assuming that p represents the pairs of pants and s represent the shirts, we can apply the following reasoning:

28p +11(p + 5)

Shirt cost (s) = $11

Pairs of pants cost (p) = $28

The term 28p represent the cost for p pants at $28 each.

The term 11(p+5) represents the cost for the shirts at $11 each.

The term 28p + 11(p + 5) represents the total cost for the shirts and pants that Chris bought.
