  • A shirt = $x
    Price of a pair of shoes is three times as much as a shirt:
    A pair of shoes:
    3 × $x
    = $3x
    Trousers = $25

    a)
    Total amount of money that Jason spend in terms of x:
    $x + $3x + $25
    = $(x + 3x + 25)
    = $(4x + 25)

    b)
    If x = 18, Jason spend:
    $(4x + 25)
    = $(4 × 18 + 25)
    = $(72 + 25)
    = $97
