C. 221(1.75) + 362(1.75)

D. 362(1.75) + 221(2.35)

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is D.

Explanation:

There were 362 cans of soft drinks sold for $1.75 each so you would multiply them together to get the sales of soft drinks. There were also 221 hot dogs for $2.35 each so you would multiply them together to get the sales of hot dogs. Since the problem is asking for both the sale of soft drinks you add them together. Therefore, the answer is 362(1.75) + 221(2.35).
