    Let us assume number of bags of cotton candies and chocolate bars = x.

    Cost of each a bag of cotton candy = $0.70.

    Cost of each chocolate bar = $ 0.50.

    Total cost of x bags of cotton candies = 0.70 x.

    Total cost of x chocolate bars = 0.50x.

    Total cost of all items = $6.30.

    0.70 x + 0.50x = 6.30.

    1.20x = 6.30.

    Dividing both sides by 1.20, we get

    1.20x/1.20 = 6.30/1.20

    x = 5.25.

    Total number of bags of cotton candies + number of chocolate bars = 5.25 + 5.25 = 10.50 ≈ 11 approximately.

    Therefore, correct option is C. 11.
