Let's try as follows:

\(SS : PS = 11x : 4x\)
\(4x = 320\)
\(x = 80\).

Total \(= 15 \cdot 80\)
Total = \(1200\)

Therefore, D is the correct answer.

Solution:

If we let s = the number of slot screws, we can create the proportion:

s/320 = 11/4

4s = 11 x 320

s = 11 x 320 / 4 = 11 x 80 = 880

Therefore, there are a total of 880 + 320 = 1200 screws in the bucket.
