1. **State the problem:** Megan bought 4 boxes of strawberries, each containing 12 strawberries. One box dropped and 4 strawberries got squished. We need to find how many strawberries she has now.
2. **Formula and rules:** Total strawberries initially = number of boxes \( \times \) strawberries per box.
3. **Calculate total strawberries initially:**
$$4 \times 12 = 48$$
4. **Subtract the squished strawberries:**
$$48 - 4 = 44$$
5. **Answer:** Megan has 44 strawberries now.
6. **Multiple choice check:** The correct answer is c. 44.
**Note:** The second part about the weight of the broccoli is incomplete and cannot be answered without more information.
