Fatima requires $$22.50$ more in order to purchase the scarf and sweater.

The total cost $(x)$ of the two items that Fatima wants to purchase is:

$x=45+77.50$

$x=122.50$

Since Fatima has $$100$ with her, the amount $(y)$ she requires to purchase those items is:

$y=122.50-100$

$y=22.50$

Fatima wants to purchase a scarf for $45.00$45.00 and a sweater for $77.50$77.50. If she currently has $100$100, how much more money does she need to purchase the two items?
