Hello!

I believe that the answer, in this case, would be choice D. My reasoning behind this solution is that if you were shipping 96 cases and then afterward you were left with 172, you would add 96 and 172. The answer would be 268. C, in this case, represents the number of cases on the shelf. If you shipped 96, you would lose 96. (c-96). This would equal the number left on your shelf or (172). This leads you to the answer of c-96=172 or Choice D.
