    B 3625 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 8280 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 7875 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Number of cakes produced = 12000 X 0.30 = 3600

    Number of cakes sold = 3600 X 0.90 = 3240

    Number of pastries produced = 12000 - 3600 = 8400

    Number of pastries sold = 8400 X 0.60 = 5040

    So, total number of items sold = 3240 + 5040 = 8280
