Company C sells a line of 25 products with an average retail price of $1,200. If none of these products sells for less than $420, and exactly 10 of the products sell for less than $1,000, what is the greatest possible selling price of the most expensive product?

a) $2,600
b) $3,900
c) $7,800
d) $11,800
e) $18,200

I don't know the answer.

My pick is 11800 choice D

10 product is not less than 420 lets assume exactly all 10 sell for 420 and these are all less than 1000
we have expression:
30000 - 14(1000) - 10(420)

10 product is not less than 420 lets assume exactly all 10 sell for 420 and these are all less than 1000

i agree with eccentric.

Total value of 25 products with avg 1200 = 30000
10 products is < 1000 but > 420, we need 14 other products to be 1000, thus leaving 1 product with the greatest value.
30,000 -14(1000) - 10(420)=11800

The question is telling you that no product is less than 420 but 10 products are less that 1000.

Hope it helps
