1) Andres bought a total of eight donuts.
\(O+J=8.\) Not sufficient. \(\Large{\color{red}\chi}\)

2) Andres spent exactly \(\$7.35\) on donuts.
\(0.75 \ast O + 1.2 \ast J = 7.35\)
\(75O + 120J = 735\)
\(5O + 8J = 49\)
\(O=5, J=3\) only one set of values satisfies this equation. \(\Large{\color{green}\checkmark}\)

Therefore, B
