1) Cost of items iteself doesnt convey anything
2) one more item of worth $80, other can be of $20 each..

so if both are there
then
40(x) + 80(x+1) = 200

I also think that the answer is C

Statement 1:
x-number of 40-dollar items purchased; y-number of 80-dollar items purchased:
40x+80y=200
two unknowns--> cannot tell how many 40-dollar items have been purchased
So A is insufficient

Statement 2:
We know that more than 1 80-dollar items have been purchased.
So it has to be 2, 3... items:
If there were two items, then:
80*2=160
If there were three items, then:
80*3=240, but a total of 200 dollars was spent. So, it has to be only 2 80-dollar items.
But we don't know how the rest 40 dollars were spent. She could have purchased 1 40-dollar item or 2 20-dollar items... or spent any other way.
So, B is also not sufficient.

Taking both statements together:
we know that two 80-dollar items were purchased and the only way she could spend the rest 40 dollars is by purchasing 1 40-dollar item.
So, A+B -->SUFF
