At the beginning of a certain week, a certain gift store had 550 candles in stock, which the store had purchased for $0.25 each. If, during the week, the store made exactly one additional purchase of candles, how much did the store pay for the candles that it had in stock at the end of the week?
(1) During the week, the store's sales for candles totaled $120.
(2) During the week, the store purchased a box of 200 candles for a total of $40.00.

I did not understand the explanation given for the answer. I marked B as the answer but Correct answer is E. Can anyone of you explain and show how you would approach this DS problem and arrive at an answer.
Thanks
