The total number of carnations Alison bought is represented by the product of the number of bunches of carnations (108) and the number of carnations in each bunch (c).

Therefore, the expression for the total number of carnations is 108c.

Similarly, the total number of roses Alison bought is represented by the product of the number of bunches of roses (96) and the number of roses in each bunch (r).

Therefore, the expression for the total number of roses is 96r.

The total number of carnations and roses Alison bought can be found by adding the expression for the total number of carnations and the expression for the total number of roses:

Total number of carnations and roses = 108c + 96r.
