CorrectNot quiteAnswer C

Correct answer: C

$18\% \text{ of } 350 = 0.18 \times 350 = 63$ .
$35\% \text{ of } 180 = 0.35 \times 180 = 63$ .
Sum = $63 + 63 = 126$ .

Worth noting

Both parts are equal because $18 \times 350 = 35 \times 180 = 6300$ . A misplaced decimal point gives 12.6 or 1,260; stopping after one part gives 63.
