At the wholesale store you can buy an 8 pack of Hot dog for $1.55, an 20 pack for $3.05 , and 250 pack for $22.95. What is the greatest nos of HDs that u can buy from the store for $200.
Ans: 2100
Ans: 2100
maximizing the pack with 250 will allow maximizing over all number that can be bought with 200.
22.95*8 is 16.40 less than 200 ---- 250*8= 2000
now to maximize the number that can be bought with 16.40 we need to buy packs of 20
3.05*5 is 1.15 less than 16.40 ---- 20*5=100
with the remaining 1.15 nothing can be bought.
Since 1.15 remains, we check if buying packs of 8 would have bought us more than 200. For that we have to buy more than 25 packets.
1.55*26 >> 16.40
as we have 16.40 only, we can't buy more than 200 with this option either.
So, maximum that can be bought is 2100
HTH!!
