Answer 1

To find the total number of cakes sold by Sweet Surprise Bake Shop, we need to add up the number of each type of cake they sold:

• Chocolate cakes: 214
• Red velvet cakes: 212
• Carrot cakes: 34
• Sugar cream cakes: 312

Now, let's calculate the total:

\[ 214 + 212 + 34 + 312 \]

Calculating step by step:

1. \( 214 + 212 = 426 \)
2. \( 426 + 34 = 460 \)
3. \( 460 + 312 = 772 \)

So, the total number of cakes sold is 772 cakes.

Since none of the provided response options match the total of 772 cakes, let's double-check with the individual calculations for possible errors or misinterpretations. However, the summation done above clearly indicates that 772 is accurate based on the sales numbers provided.

Thus, the answer is 772 cakes (although this option isn't listed).
