I think this question can be framed better. 2+c couples carrying 7 suitcases means the entire group is having 7 suitcases and not each couple having 7 which is what I think is meant by the question.
Adding "each" after suitcases would clear the ambiguity. Kindly look into it.

A taxi company charges a base fare of €33, which covers up to 10 kilometers, up to 4 passengers, and up to 6 suitcases. Each additional kilometer costs €2.5, each additional passenger €2, and each additional suitcase €1.5. A group of (2 + c) couples carrying 7 suitcases travels 12 kilometers. If the total cost of the trip is €108, what is the value of c?

A) 2
B) 3
C) 4
D) 5
E) 6
