Answer 1

the answer is D. $5,565

Explanation:

Answer 2

The answer is B, $1,391.25.
The first step is subtracting the $3,256 from $8,821 because that’s how much the snack bar had already made that day. Whenever we subtract that, we get 5565. Next, since we’re finding out how much it made per hour, we divide by four. 5565/4= 1,391.25.
