Answer 1

The total expression represents the total  number of pants and shirts Chris bought.
25p = Total cost of pants
18(p+4) = Total cost of shirts

Answer 2

Answer: This expression becomes total cost.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of pairs of pant = p

Number of shirts = p+4

Cost of shirt = $18

Cost of pants = $25

So, According to question, total cost  becomes,

$Total\ cost=25p+18(p+4)$

Hence, this expression becomes total cost .
