To calculate the number of bags of cookies sold, add the 1st year and second year. 

1st year = 37580 and 2nd year = number of cookies sold on the 1st year and 5000 more.
So, 37580 + 375800 +5000 = total bags of cookies sold.
75160+ 5000 = 80160 total bags of cookies sold.
Rounding off to the nearest 1000 and the answer is 80,000 bags of cookies.

The answer to the question is letter C.
