You can put this solution on YOUR website! .
The problem is solved in ONE LINE
The girls spent 4*2 + 5*2 = 8 + 10 = 18 dollars, in all.
All the rest in the post does not deserve any attention.
I do not like VERY MUCH the form on how this text and instructions in the post are organized.
They only suppress the young students' mind.
In my view, it is very bad style teaching young students.

By the way, the problem is about arithmetic, not about Algebra.
So, it is unclear to me, why you posted it to this forum.
