A. 16+6+56+21

B. 160+60+56+21

C. 160+60+560+21

D. 1,600+60+560+21

Answer 1

You're multiplying here, and it looks like you're dealing with place values, so let's break each numbers we have up into their digits in their place values:

83 * 27

(80 + 3) * (20 + 7)

 

To multiply, we find the product of each part of the first times each part of the second, then add them all up:

80*20 + 3*20 + 80*7 + 3*7

1600 + 60 + 560 + 21

Answer 2

Allie,

 

If you sell 83 bags of apples where each bag contains 27 apples, the total number of apples sold is found by multiplying 83 by 27.  83 x 27 = 2241.  The question is asking which of the sums add up to 2241.  If you add up each set of numbers, you will find that the numbers in answer D add up to the desired total.
