Answer:

89

Step-by-step explanation:

In simple words, Todd used a total of 89 candies to make his ginger bread house. Both the items, that is, the jelly beans as well as the gum drops are considered to be a candy. Hence their total, that is, number of jelly beans added to number of gum drops used will be the total amount of candies used.

Thus, from the above we can conclude that correct answer is 89 candies.
