Answer 1

Part A is C

Part B is B

Explanation:

This is because it is $3.49 per mango. So it is $3.49m, and $1.40 per papaya, so that is $1.40p, and $1.24 per coconut, so that is $1.24c. You add those up and the expression would be 3.49m + 1.40p + 1.24c which is the answer.

Answer 2

Part A is C. because it is $3.49 per mango, so it is $3.49m, and $1.40 per papaya, so that is $1.40p, and $1.24 per coconut, so that is $1.24c. You add those up and the expression would be 3.49m + 1.40p + 1.24c.

Part B is B.

Because 3 times 3.49 is 10.47, which is the cost for the mangoes. And 1.4 times 4 is 5.6, which is the cost for the papayas. And 6 times 1.24 is 7.44, which is the cost of the coconuts. Add 10.47, 5.6, and 7.44 and you get 23.51 which is the answer.
