The total area of the two bases can be calculated as follows:

Area of one base = πr^2, where r is the radius of the base (half of the diameter)
Area of one base = 3.14 * (5/2)^2
Area of one base = 3.14 * 6.25
Area of one base = 19.625 square inches

Total area of both bases = 2 * (19.625)
Total area of both bases = 39.25 square inches

Therefore, the total area of the two bases is 39.25 square inches, rounded to the nearest hundredth.

The answer is B. 39.25 square inches.

I apologize for the confusion in my previous response. Let's calculate it again to ensure the accuracy of the answer.

Given:
Diameter of the base = 5 inches
Radius of the base = 5/2 = 2.5 inches
Height of the can = 7.5 inches

The total surface area of the two bases can be calculated as follows:

Area of one base = πr^2
Area of one base = 3.14 * (2.5)^2
Area of one base = 3.14 * 6.25
Area of one base ≈ 19.625 square inches

Total area of both bases = 2 * 19.625
Total area of both bases ≈ 39.25 square inches

Therefore, the total area of the two bases is approximately 39.25 square inches.

So, the correct answer is : B. 39.25 square inches.

I hope this clears up any confusion, and I appreciate your patience. Thank you.
