    Step-by-step explanation:

    It says that each T-shirt costs $15.80 and each pair of socks costs $3.60.

    Ms. Derr wants to buy 2 T-shirts so,

    2 (15.80) = x

    x = $31.60

    Ms. Derr wants to buy 6 pairs of socks so,

    6 (3.60) = y

    y = $21.60

    Add the x and y together and you get,

    x+y = z

    31.60 + 21.60 = z

    z = $53.20

    Now, Ms. Derr has a budget of $50, so to figure out how short her budget is,

    53.20-50.00 = b

    b = $3.20

    Ms. Derr is short of her budget by $3.20.

    her budget will be shorted $3.80

    Step-by-step explanation:

    add 15.80 two times for the price of 2 t-shirts = 31.60

    then add 3.60 six times to get the price of 6 socks = 22.20

    add 22.20 and 31.60 = 53.80

    subtract 53.80 and 50.00 = $3.80
