'Total' already implies 'combined'.
- thrownaway2424 11y agoYes, but the sentence could be parsed (and was initially parsed by me) as 209 salads and an unknown number of drinks.
- jsprogrammer 11y agoWithout a comma, I believe, 'salads and drinks' must be parsed as belonging together and are modified by the most recently occurring number (209).
