For n = 0, substituting 0 in the given equation, the amount left would be:
11ebbb8f_b94f_bca5_bcf2_9b343c00b9a0_TB8306_11 = 11(2)^0 + 800 = 811
(Rounding off to the nearest whole number, we get 800)

For n = 5, substituting 5 in the given equation, the amount left would be:
11ebbb8f_b94f_bca5_bcf2_9b343c00b9a0_TB8306_11 = 11(2)^5 + 800 = 3520
(Rounding off to the nearest whole number, we get 3200)

Therefore, the correct answer is option C, i.e., 800 and 200.
