Answer 2

306

Explanation:

First we find the number of candles needed for each size of arrangement.

Large Arrangements:

6 large arrangements with 25 candles each:

25 × 6 = 150

Small Arrangements:

13 small arrangements with 12 candles each:

13 × 12 = 156

Now we add the results above to find a grand total:

total = 150 + 156 = 306
