• D. Four zero five
  

Answer 1

The correct option is B Four hundred five


Detailed step-by-step solution:
Number of candies in the shop = 340
Number of candies brought = 230
Total number of candies = 340 + 230 = 570
Number of candies sold = 165
So, number of candies left = 570 − 165 = 405
The number name of 405 is “four hundred five”.
Hence, four hundred five candies are left in the shop.
