Solution

The correct option is B 7,998
Number of candies Tom's father bought = 2,356

Number of candies Tom's mother bought = 5,642

Total number of candies = Sum of the number of candies bought by Tom's father and his mother

= 2,356 + 5,642

Let's add the numbers using vertical addition.

Vertical addition is a method of adding where the numbers are lined up in columns according to their place values.

Therefore, the total number of candies Tom has is 7,998.
