Answer 1

part a: is c

part b: $33.25

Explanation:

PART A: I did 6x68.45=410.70

8x39.71=317.68

3x52.25=156.75

410.7+317.68+156.75=885.13

so the closest thing to it is c

PART B: i did

5x2.89=14.45

10x9.91=79.10

48x0.36=17.28

14.45+79.10+17.28=110.83

144.08-110.83=33.25

so the case of air fresheners was $33.25
