C) 3,600 * 4, then 14,400 : 6

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 4 cases containing 3600 cups each. Which means there are a total of:

3600 x 4 = 14400 cups

The cups have to be split equally between 6 restaurants which means you need to divide the number of cups by the number of restaurants so,

14400 : 6 = 2400 cups.

The calculation which yields the correct answer is:

3600 x 4 then 14400 : 6 so the correct option is C.
