Answer 1

Answer: c. Week 1: $7504, Week 2: $7826

Answer 2

In week 1: $7504

In week 2: $7826

Explanation:

In order to find the total amounts spent in souvenirs, we need to add all expenses as shown below:

Week 1:

128 hats sold at $14 each, so total for hats was: $14 * 128 = $1792

240 shirts sold at $18 each, so total for hats was: $18 * 240 = $4320

58 toys sold at $24 each, so total for hats was: $24 * 58 = $1392

The total amount spent was: $1792 + $4320 + $1392 = $7504

Week 2:

130 hats sold at $14 each, so total for hats was: $14 * 130 = $1820

215 shirts sold at $18 each, so total for hats was: $18 * 215 = $3870

89 toys sold at $24 each, so total for hats was: $24 * 89 = $2136

The total amount spent was: $1820 + $3870 + $2136 = $7826
