Putting a question mark at the end of the string of words does not make it a question.

It is not a question unless it contains a verb telling us what we are supposed to do....

Are we supposed to find the cost of the helmet and jersey? That's impossible, because no numbers are given.

Are we supposed to write an expression that represents the cost of the two items?

Is it something else....?

Re-post; this time, ask a question.

As this problem is worded and presented, it deserves to be re-directed to the TRASH SECTION.

If I see such nonsense next time, I definitely will direct it to that destination,
without any explanations.
